The next OpenWrt release will use kernel 4.9 and kernel 4.14 depending on the target. All targets that are *not* on either kernel 4.9 or 4.14 will not be included in the next release.
I did some overview of the kernel version some months ago here: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/lede-dev/2017-October/009446.html Here is the current situation as of today: The following targets are on kernel 4.14 and are fine: * apm821xx * archs38 * armvirt * cns3xxx * malta * mediatek * octeon * octeontx * sunxi * x86 The following targets are on kernel 4.9 and are fine: * ar71xx * ar7 * arc770 * at91 There are some patches for kernel 4.14 on the mailing list waiting for response from author * ath25 * bcm53xx patches for 4.14 are available in master * brcm2708 * brcm47xx * brcm63xx patches for 4.14 are available in master * imx6 There are some patches for kernel 4.14 on the mailing list which is being worked on * ipq806x * ixp4xx * kirkwood * lantiq patches for 4.14 are in Mathias Kresin's staging tree. * layerscape * mpc85xx * mvebu patches for 4.14 are available in master I would like to get this to kernel 4.14 by default soon. * mxs * omap * orion * pistachio * ramips patches for 4.14 are available in master * rb532 * uml The following targets are on kernel 4.4 and will probably not be included in the next release: * gemini * oxnas * zynq The following targets are on kernel 3.18 and will probably not be included in the next release: * adm5120 * adm8668 * au1000 * mcs814x I have patches which port this target to 4.4 in my tree, but nobody tested them. https://git.lede-project.org/?p=lede/hauke/staging.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/kernel-4.4 * ppc40x * ppc44x * xburst I have patches which port this target to 4.4 in my tree, but nobody tested them https://git.lede-project.org/?p=lede/hauke/staging.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/kernel-4.4 This target is on kernel 4.1 (WTF): * omap24xx All the targets which are not on kernel 4.9 or 4.14 will probably not be included in the next release, I also haven't seen any activity for any of them to get support for more recent kernel versions, if you need them please take care now.
