There are some dedicated scripts that get triggered to bring the device 
in failsafe mode (just search with "failsafe" in LEDE's github), but I 
don't know how exactly the startup scripts work so I can't really do it 
myself.
For example this is a script that should allow failsafe by disabling 
vlans in the onboard switch for a list of boards/targets that have this 
issue

Maybe a similar one that does what the "force enable wifi" script did 
would do the trick?
