No, it does not help me to have kernel 4.9 is master for maintaining 18.06.

Thank you.

Before applying this please send this to the public mailing list.

The orion part in usb.mk is also used by mvebu:
https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/USB_EHCI_HCD_ORION.html

uboot-kirkwood probably also uses some orion parts in the kirkwood target.

I think kmod-crypto-iv is empty now.

There are also some checks in include/netfilter.mk which can be removed now.

This file can also be removed:
package/kernel/linux/files/sysctl-tcp-bbr-k4_9.conf
