Yesterday, I came across a TL-WA901v5 and did a PR on LEDE github, without knowing that
someone already started on the OpenWrt side ;-)
The OpenWrt PR adds another mach-*-v5 file, which basically is a copy of the mach-*-v4.
Since both boards are identical in HW (used CPU, RAM, Flash, WLAN, GPIO assignments),
I've just added another MIPS_MACHINE in the existing mach-*-v4 file without introducing
a clone there.
However, as the OEM bootloader requires the image to have the correct HW-ID (09010005), we
still need to make a seperate image for these devices.
Flashing is successfully tested via TFTP, like for the -v4 unit as described in [1]
You can find the LEDE PR at [2] - everything is compile-tested and run-tested on real HW.

Best regards,
P. Wassi
