I'm for using SL-D240. I share Kristians concerns about possible name
collisions in targets supporting a lot of boards like ar71xx and
ramips. Piotr, are fine with SL-D240?

Kristian, if you send a v3, please add some information on how to
install LEDE to the Sanlinking D240 to the commit message. Have a look
at https://git.lede-project.org/fd62fa752bbff9ae5277098152e7960a14d241e1
for a good example how it could look like.
