From 97f3c0f041e7299884985ac4459f4668a2ceb726 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Rafa=C5=82=20Mi=C5=82ecki?= Date: Sun, 6 May 2018 00:06:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] brcm47xx: switch to the kernel 4.14 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The biggest (and the only?) disadventage of this is obviously an increased image size. For mips74k the size of vmlinux goes up from 4186684 B to 4701436 B. Most devices use LZMA compressed kernel so probably more important is vmlinux.lzma size which goes up from 1342945 B to the 1508498 B. Still this isn't something that should stop target kernel bump. There are various adventages of kernel 4.14. If kernel / image size is a serious concern for anyone, it's perfectly possible to use previous release which is pretty solid for the brcm47xx.
