[OpenWrt-Devel] ath79: ar71xx: Upgrade: tl-wr842n-v1 has Wrong BOARDNAME in ar71xx Builds

[Jeff Kletsky]

As reported in 
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/ath79-image-builder-problem-for-wr842n-v1/30197/4?u=jeff

the board configuration for the ar71xx tl-wr842n-v1 improperly sets 
BOARDNAME to TL-MR3420
(confirmed on master and on openwrt-18.06)

As a result, users upgrading that device to ath79 will not have a 
seamless experience, requiring manual intervention.

I'm hesitant to suggest that the TL-MR3420 be added to SUPPORTED_DEVICES 
for tl-wr842n-v2 under ath79, as I believe the MR3420 is a 4/32 device 
and the WR842N v1 is a 8/32 device. Some <strike>idiot</strike> 
uninformed user might suggest that TL-MR3420 users try to flash the 8 MB 
image.
