AW: [PATCH v2 0/7] 22.03 lantiq: add support for x490 Fritzboxes

[kestrel1974 at t-online.de]

Hi,

I can understand that it took a long time. The wasp loader kernel module v5 is the next in the review list of the remoteproc-linux kernel list.
I will try to deal with Haukes suggestions by the end of the week. With regards to the packages, I think wpad is a left over from my tests and I can remove it and I will rework the kernel patches.
But for the special packages that are not honored by the build bots, I do not really have a solution. For now I was thinking of instructions to use the image builder, which also means, that as a start there will not be any downloadable images that cover all possible functionality.

Daniel.

Hi,

How is this related to the pull request adding support for these devices 
on github?
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/5075

The pull request on github looks mostly ok to me, I just had some minor 
questions.
