You can be the one to add them. 

cp -R patches-3.14 patches-3.18 
make target/linux/{clean,prepare} V=s QUILT=1

Okay, spent a couple of hours working through patching a 3.18 kernel. Went reasonably well ;)

Aside from quite a few particular router support patches (which I’m not overly concerned about), there were some failures in Flash, PHY, SPI and USB support for the AR71xx platform.

Before I dig in and analyse some more, any pointers on why the following might fail, or how to triage? Is there a possibility some now exist in the mainline kernel?

Thx.
