I’m receiving the error “The uploaded image file does not contain a supported format. Make sure that you choose the generic image format for your platform.” when trying to update my router TP-Link TL-WR842N/ND v1 from version 18.06.2 to version 19.07.2

Fixed for master in https://github.com/openwrt/op

Missing SUPPORTED_DEVICES.
I've pushed a fix to master here and will backport it end of the week:
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/522f6b7eee479768dd7851e83c4530c3329b9f53
This should be included in 19.07.3 then, unless you want to build yourself earlier.
(This just adds the support information. If you are really sure you are using the correct image, just force-flash the 19.07.2 image. My patch won't change anything despite that board string.)
