[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH] ath79: switch to kernel 5.4

[mail at adrianschmutzler.de]

Hi,

I've just quickly tested a few devices with "default" setup plus the inlining-patch on kernel 5.4:

TP-Link Archer C60 v1: works without apparent issues
TP-Link TL-WR841N v12 (tiny!): works without apparent issues, it is still possible to write to flash
TP-Link TL-WR1043ND v4: boots fine, WAN+Wifi works, I had some issues with WAN+LAN where network on my client device froze as soon as I tried to do a speed test (though I cannot clearly admit that to the router, it might be a problem on my client device as well; rebooting the client device fixed it until I tried to measure speed again). However, note that this is the only device tested where the WAN port is part of the switch (eth0.2).

dmesg is clean for all devices, nothing remarkable.

Best

Adrian
