Is this the REAL problem?  That we need LTS releases?  Or that SoC's like the MT76xx aren't able to keep up with new kernel releases?

Would we need to have LTS support if chips like the AR7 and the MT7623 had ongoing kernel support from the manufacturers?  Isn't this latter point the true root cause?
