The NWA90AX is hardware-wise identical to the NWA50AX which is
already supported.
The NWA90AX magic model code bytes are `77 E1`,
and they are added to the DTS to mark the NWA50AX firmware
as being compatible with the 90 model.
Without the compat-models change, uploading the OpenWrt NWA50AX
firmware with the official Zyxel web interface yields an error:
> errno: -25007
> errmsg: Firmware content error!
As described on the NWA50AX firmware page[1] on the wiki, the
"current image" slot for firmware updates has to be "1".
If it is 0, flashing will fail.
