Thanks for your work.

By moving ag71xx to files-4.19 on ath79, I suspect 4.14 is broken now on this target.
So, we should either copy that to files-4.14 as well or remove the remaining 4.14 files there as well (where I'd prefer the latter).

If I receive positive feedback on this, I'd prepare the patch myself.

Best

Adrian
