Testing TP-Link Devices to do 3.20.3.1 point release

If you have a TP-Link device, we are in need to validate the nightly build images are working on a few devices.    What has happened, with some models affected in the 3.20.3.0 release, an issue went undiscovered and some tp-link images were non-functional.    The openwrt release had added a section of code with sufficient duplication, that when the AREDN patches were applied on top, the changes went to a different section than intended, and went unnoticed. 

The following devices are believed to be working in the currently nightly build, because they have had code changes or upgrades since 3.20.3.0  -- a test would have confirmed.

* cpe220 v2
* cpe220 v3
* cpe510 v1.0/v1.1
* cpe510 v2.0
* cpe510 v3.0
* cpe610 v1.0
* wbs210 v1.0
* wbs210 v2.0
* wbs510 v1.0
* wbs510 v2.0

The following models have not had any reported issues.  We are not 100% sure if no one is using, or there remains a residual problem.  If you have one of these devices, can you confirm the current nightly build is installing and working as expected?:

cpe210 v1.0/v1.1
cpe210 v2.0
cpe210 v3.0
cpe510 v1.0/v1.1
cpe610 v2.0

Thanks to Andrew KK4ZUZ, all tplink devices have now been migrated to the latest linux kernel and ath79 target, enabling AREDN to inherit all openwrt upstream improvements in the future.   Andrew has been working with the openwrt developers to ensure these devices were put into openwrt, some for the first time.  This is a significant contribution! 

AREDN supported devices still include some mikrotik, ubiquiti, and GL.inet devices only building with the older ar71xx target, yet to make this jump.   OpenWRT no longer creates ar71xx target images in the latest builds and next release in 2021.    We will have further work to do to migrate these devices, if not done by the OpenWRT community.
