brcm47xx: switch to the kernel 4.14

Browse source 
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.
