Hi,

concerning LED migration:

I have _not_ run-tested this patch, as it's closely similar to what has been 
done for c7-v5, which has been tested.

I own C25 and both C60, though, so if you insist I can test (but not so soon).

Concerning eth0/eth1 swap:

After https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/2066 , several devices were 
aligned to the ar71xx order, but also several that were "correct" before are 
wrong now.
This affects the TP-Link C58, C59, C60, Glint AR150, not sure about C25, and 
most probably several others I have not encountered.

There was a brief discussion about migration somewhere, but I do not recall how 
or whether it was resolved. I had a quick look into the code, and didn't find 
anything for eth migration (but might have overlooked it).

Technically, a migration script only would have to exchange eth0 and eth1 (with 
an intermediate step), so it shouldn't be too complicated, unless I overlooked 
something. One could do the same for board.json, although solving it like this 
leaves a little of a sour taste.

Maybe one should restart this discussion on the list ...

However, please note that I'm only dealing with this topic by accident, as I've 
found out about the missing LED migration (and with ramips LEDs, as I've 
destroyed them in the first place ;-) ). I'm mostly using OpenWrt to develop 
Freifunk firmware based on it, where we completely circumvent OpenWrt migration 
mechanism. So I'm definitely not an expert with this.

Best

Adrian
