Yes the filename is correct. The device tries to download a file named
ArcherC7v5_tp_recovery.bin through tftp even though the model is an ArcherA7
and it checks for ArcherA7 in the supported versions list of the firmware.
I did try flashing an openwrt ar71xx ArcherC7v5 firmware image through the
TP-Link UI
and via tftp but that got rejected due to the wrong version string.
I did not try flashing the current ath79 ArcherA7v5 firmware through the UI.
I'll
reflash my device to stock and see if it will accept this firmware.

I also chose this naming scheme because i based the dts file on the
dts files for Archer C7 v1 and v2 in the ath79 target.
I don't have too much of an opinion on this but i think i'd prefer
the shorter v5 as well. I'll change it.

Yeah i'll move everything apart from the differences in mtdparts to a
