Hi Piotr,
Thank You for comments.
Before sending v2 patch lets clarify all doubts.

Hello Karol,
Thank you for your patch but it seems that it got whitespace mangled and
tabs were replaced with spaces. Please, send v2 using git send-email.
Also, please see my comments inline, below.

Add support for TP-Link TL-WDR7500 V6.
Specifications:
- WiSoC: QCA9563 - 3x3 2.4GHz
- Radio2: QCA9880 - 3x3 5GHz
- RAM: 64MB DDR2
- Storage: 8MB NOR SPI flash, can be replaced with 16M
- Switch: RTL8367S, now unmanaged
- Ethernet: 5x1G
- Misc: 2x button, 2x LED
Please, include in commit message how to install LEDE on this device as
described under "commit description" section on [1].
Ok, will prepare manual how to change bootloader to non-RSA one, move art and
install LEDE.
I'm sorry but I'm against accepting support for devices which requires
such invasive modifications. We always try to make it possible for users
to get back to the stock firmware which wouldn't be easy (or possible at
all) with your changes in mtd layout and after bootloader swap.

Please, drop this "tl-wdr7500-v6-16M" thing. As far as I understand, this is
only your custom hardware modification and the default/factory version comes
with just 8 MB of FLASH.
Ok. 16MB flash is hw mod.
And I really don't think this device has a writable U-Boot environment in a
separate sector. Please, provide some explanation.
Original bootloader checks RSA for second bootloader and system.
To install LEDE I chose to replace bootloader instead of using any
workarounds (if even exists).
Working bootloader is available at:
https://github.com/bizongod/u-boot_wdr7500v6
It is based on u-boot from TL-WDR1043v4 plus initializing routines for
switch and other usable mods. It has also writable env.
With changing bootloader I decided also that's good opportunity to move
art to better address, that's end of flash.

This is definitely not a correct mtd organization for this device.
Based on bootlogs found on OpenWrt forum [2], it should look more or less
like:

We have a separate place for TP-Link devices, please use image/tp-link.mk
file instead.
As I saw, image/tp-link.mk is used because of specific tp-link image header etc,
what in case of replaced bootloader, which accepts normal header, don't make
sense any more.
Is this correct?
