Why not? What is not working properly for you? It will be easier to fix that than to work with a crazy half-backported mess that you will be the sole person responsible for. thanks, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Why 4.8? That too is a totally unsupported kernel version. Anyway, randomly pulling in a driver from a newer by many years, if not almost a decade old (2.6.32 was released in 2009), is a very difficult task, and usually almost impossible to go that far back. That is not how Linux is developed or meant to be worked with at all. You are _really_ on your own here, only do this if you _really_ know what you are doing. Even then, I would not recommend you do this, as you are guaranteeing to create a monstrosity that only you can support, for forever, on your own. good luck! greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
