This commit adds support for TP-LINK RE6000XD.
The device is quite similar to the Mercusys MR90X V1,
except only 3 LAN ports and more LEDs.
So thanks to csharper2005 for doing all the groundwork.
Device specification

Connector: Barrel
Bootloader: Main U-Boot - U-Boot 2022.01-rc4. Additionally, ubi0
partition contain "seconduboot" (also U-Boot 2022.01-rc4)
Serial console (UART), unpopulated
---------------------
V
+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| +3.3V | GND | TX | RX |

Disassemble: rm the 2 screws at the bottom and the one at the backside.
un-clip the case starting at the edge above the LEDs.
Installation (UART)
-------------------
1. Place OpenWrt initramfs image on tftp server with IP 192.168.1.2
2. Attach UART, switch on the router and interrupt the boot process by
pressing 'Ctrl-C'
3. Load and run OpenWrt initramfs image:
tftpboot openwrt-mediatek-filogic-tplink_re6000xd-initramfs-kernel.bin bootm
4. Run 'sysupgrade -n' with the sysupgrade OpenWrt image
Notice: while I was successfull at activating ssh (as described
here:
https://www.lisenet.com/2023/gaining-ssh-access-to-tp-link-re200-wi-fi-range-extender/)
Unfortunately I haven't found the correct root password.
Looks like they are using a static password
(md5crypt, salt + 21 characters) that is not the web
interface admin password.
The TP-LINK RE900XD looks like the very same device,
according to the pictures and the firmware.
But I haven't checked if the OpenWrt firmware works as well
on that device.
The second ubi partition (ubi1) is empty and there is no known
dual-partition mechanism, neither in u-boot nor in the stock firmware.
