Description
On file tplink-safeloader.c, at the definitions of C60 devices (line 1404, 1439, 1476), there is a string for supported-list that is bigger than 256 bytes (0x100), but on the partitions definitions right there the limit is 0x100. So how is openwrt compiling this firmware using these definitions, if changing is needed why is not reflected in the code? I've tried to compile the firmware to my C60 v3 and of course shows an error that the support-list exceeds the 256 limit.

Research direction
Start in src/tplink-safeloader.c at the C60 device definitions around lines 1404, 1439, and 1476. Compare each support-list string with the adjacent 0x100 partition limit, then compile the firmware for a C60 v3 to reproduce the reported error. Done means the definitions and their limits are consistent and the firmware build succeeds.
