Does it really only accept the firmware by TFTP and blocks installation
thru the TP-Link UI? Also the filename seems odd, although completely
possible TP-Link uses the C7 filename.

This might e a bit of personal preference, but TP-Link never calls their
Devices "XXX Version Y", so i would go for "TP-Link Archer A7 v5", as
everywhere else it is referenced as such (see the image Makefile for
example), but i would appreciate a second opinion about this topic.

Looking at the Github pull-request for the ar71xx based Archer A7 v5,
the C7 v5 only differs in the partitioning so we should probably put
common stuff into a 'qca9563_tplink_archer-x7-v5.dts' as support for the
Archer C7 v5 is most likely to be added too.

We should use dynamic partitioning here, as the kernel size is going to
increase in the future. Take a look at this commit:
