FS#2751 - Device tl-wr2543n not supported while upgrading from ar71xx to ath79

Upgrade from ar71xx (18.06.6) to ath79 (19.07.0) failed on my TP-Link TL-WR2543ND-V1:

root@router:/tmp# sysupgrade openwrt-19.07.0-ath79-generic-tplink_tl-wr2543
-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin 
Device tl-wr2543n not supported by this image
Supported devices: tplink,tl-wr2543-v1 tl-wr2543-v1
Image check 'fwtool_check_image' failed.

tl-wr2543-v1 is missing the last “n”. It was used in BOARD_NAME (https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/openwrt-18.06/target/linux/ar71xx/image/generic-tp-link.mk#L418 ) but not in the profile name.

Is it safe to do a force upgrade?

It flashed without warning to target ar71xx (https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.0/targets/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-19.07.0-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr2543-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin)

It also failed to flash between the same version 19.07.0 but from ar71xx to ath79:

root@router:~# sysupgrade -T /tmp/openwrt-19.07.0-ath79-generic-tplink_tl-w
r2543-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin 
Device tl-wr2543n not supported by this image
Supported devices: tplink,tl-wr2543-v1 tl-wr2543-v1
Image check failed.
