I tested the kernel 5.4 support with ipq806x/R7800 and noticed that at least
two kernel packages get broken with 5.4:
* exfat-nofuse: exFAT is included in Linux 5.4 as a driver in the staging
section. The header definitions in exfat-nofuse conflict with the ones
already in Linux 5.4 be default. The new kernel module should probably be
packaged in OpenWrt with a depndency to 5.4 (and exfat-nofuse disabled in
5.4+ as they define the same kmod-fs-exfat)
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/drivers/staging/exfat?h=linux-5.4.y
* IPv6 NAT breaks compilation: fails if ip6tables-mod-nat and kmod-ipt-nat6
are included in the build. Likely netfilter requires some modifications.
Collected errors:
* check_data_file_clashes: Package kmod-ipt-nat6 wants to install file
/Openwrt/r7800/build_dir/target-arm_cortex-a15+neon-vfpv4_musl_eabi/root-ipq806x/lib/modules/5.4.22/xt_MASQUERADE.ko
But that file is already provided by package * kmod-ipt-nat
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-ipt-nat6.
* check_data_file_clashes: Package kmod-ipt-nat6 wants to install file
/Openwrt/r7800/build_dir/target-arm_cortex-a15+neon-vfpv4_musl_eabi/root-ipq806x/lib/modules/5.4.22/xt_MASQUERADE.ko
But that file is already provided by package * kmod-ipt-nat
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package ip6tables-mod-nat.
