[PATCH v4] tplink-safeloader: Patch to handle partitions with alternate names.

Mon May 16 06:50:06 PDT 2022


Some devices, specifically Deco M4R-v3 / M5 have partition names that
deviate from the scheme other devices use. They have an added "@0"
and "@1" for some partition names.

The devices have fallback partitions which will be used in case the
device determines that the primary partition set is unbootable.

This patch introduces an option to set these alternate partition names
in the device definition of tplink-safeloader.
