[Battlemesh] TP-Link TL-WR1043ND v3 flashed to OpenWRT trunk via TFTP

[Ben West]

Actually, w/r/t to previous requests to start collecting reports of the
locked encountered on devices, I fould this OpenWRT forum thread asking for
precisely that.  So I appended to that thread, too.
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=315048

Also added a note the OpenWRT wiki for this device:
