No, but you can backport it easily. Back at
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2019-November/025967.html
I provided backports of this feature to OpenWrt, for the 4.14 and 4.19
kernels.

I don't see how this can work without the dm-mod.create feature. Are
you sure the verity= and dm= kernel arguments exist?
