kernel: backport the upstream Motorcomm YT92xx DSA driver

2026-11-03T17:40:42Z

The GL-BE14000 carries a Motorcomm YT9224 switch. Add the yt921x DSA driver, its tagging protocol and the Motorcomm PHY patches as the series was merged upstream, so the driver tracks net-next. The YT922x support in 967-27 is not upstream yet. It is a rework by Shi Jiayang of the net-next v1 posting by Kyle Switch, <20260813104137.55550-1-kyle.switch@motor-comm.com>. The rework adds the switch setup, the eFuse calibration, the SerDes configuration, the phylink PCS handling and the CPU port recovery that the GL-BE14000 needs, ports them to Linux 6.18, and keeps separate YT921x and YT922x tag drivers. Its mtk-usxgmii change moves to the mediatek patch 978, later in this series. On top of the rework, 967-27 keeps the LAG offload of the YT9215, and 967-36 releases its package lock on the error paths of yt8824_config_aneg(). The driver is not specific to MediaTek, so the patches go to the generic patch set. The upstream patches go to backport-6.18. 967-27 and the quad 2.5G PHY driver in 967-36 go to pending-6.18. YT921X and YT922X take tag protocol 32 and 33, because MXL862 already holds 30 and 31 here. The OOB, RALINK, QCA_ETYPE and RTL_OTTO tag protocols of the ipq40xx, ramips, qualcommax and realtek targets move from 32 to 35. The YT92xx tags hold 32 and 33 on all targets, and the YT922x fixes add 34 for the four-byte tag. Enable CONFIG_NET_DSA_YT92XX, CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_YT921X, CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_YT922X and CONFIG_MOTORCOMM_PHY in the filogic config. Mark the YT92xx symbols as unset in the generic config, so that the other targets do not stop at a kconfig prompt.

kernel: add kmod-serial-sc16is7xx

2026-11-03T17:40:42Z

Nothing packages the NXP SC16IS7xx UART bridges. Since 6.7 the driver is split into a core and one module per bus, which the core selects. Ship the core and the SPI glue. Signed-off-by: John Crispin

kernel: add kmod-can-mcp251xfd

2026-11-03T17:40:42Z

The MCP2517FD, MCP2518FD and MCP251863 are not covered by the mcp251x driver, which only handles the older MCP2510, MCP2515 and MCP2525 parts. Package the mcp251xfd driver for them. Signed-off-by: John Crispin

kernel: can: add vxcan package

2026-11-03T17:40:42Z

Package the vxcan driver, which implements a local CAN traffic tunnel between two virtual CAN network devices, analogous to what veth does for ethernet. Signed-off-by: John Crispin

kernel: drop modules of other packages from AUTOLOAD

2026-11-03T10:45:53Z

These packages list modules they do not ship: - ata-ahci, ata-ahci-platform: libahci (kmod-ata-core) - serial-8250-exar: 8250 and 8250_base (kmod-serial-8250) - usb2: ehci-hcd (kmod-usb-ehci, which loads it at boot) - backlight, backlight-pwm: video (the ACPI video driver, which kmod-acpi-video ships and loads) kmodloader loads the dependencies of every module it loads, at boot as well, so libahci, the 8250 core and ehci-hcd are still loaded first.

kernel: fix AUTOLOAD lists extended with a second AutoLoad call

2026-11-03T10:45:53Z

AUTOLOAD holds the load priority and boot flag followed by the module names. crypto-ghash/arm-ce and sound-core/uml append a complete $(call AutoLoad,...) to the list they inherit from the base package, so its priority and boot flag ("09 0" and "30 0") end up as module names, which kmodloader skips. crypto-ghash/arm-ce now appends only the module name. sound-core/uml replaces FILES with soundcore and hostaudio, so it replaces AUTOLOAD as well, which also drops a duplicate soundcore and the sound modules it does not ship.

kernel: drop KCONFIG symbols that no longer exist

2026-11-03T10:45:53Z

- sound-core: CONFIG_HOSTAUDIO (renamed to CONFIG_UML_SOUND, which the uml variant already sets) - mac80211: CONFIG_AVERAGE (lib/average, replaced by the EWMA helpers) Neither symbol exists in Linux 6.18, so the kernel configuration does not change.

kernel: drop .ko suffix from AUTOLOAD names

2026-11-03T10:45:53Z

kmodloader strips the suffix, so this is cosmetic, but AUTOLOAD lists module names everywhere else. Signed-off-by: Sander van Deijck Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/26279 Signed-off-by: Robert Marko

kernel: drop non-existent modules from AUTOLOAD

2026-11-03T10:45:53Z

These modules are no longer built by the kernel, but are still listed next to the modules that replaced them: - can-usb-esd: esd_usb2 (renamed to esd_usb) - nf-flow: nf_flow_table_hw (part of nf_flow_table) - nft-netdev: nf_tables_netdev (part of nf_tables) - drm-imx: imx-ipuv3-crtc (part of imxdrm) ipt-tee and ipt-u32 also list nf_tee, which is not a kernel module. The packet duplication behind TEE is in nf_dup_ipv4 and nf_dup_ipv6, which kmod-nf-dup-inet ships, and ipt-u32 has nothing to do with TEE.

kernel: fix module names in AUTOLOAD

2026-11-03T10:45:53Z

These packages list a module name in AUTOLOAD that does not match the module they ship. kmodloader silently skips names it cannot find, so the module is not loaded at boot unless something else pulls it in: - iio-hmc5843: hmc5843 -> hmc5843_i2c - industrialio-buffer-cb: industrialio-triggered-buffer-cb -> industrialio-buffer-cb - iio-fxas21002c: fxas21002c -> fxas21002c_core - iio-fxos8700: fxos8700 -> fxos8700_core - sound-soc-imx: snd-soc-imx-pcm -> imx-pcm-dma - keys-trusted: trusted-keys -> trusted - netem: netem -> sch_netem - drm-panel-backlight-quirks: panel-backlight-quirks -> drm_panel_backlight_quirks Signed-off-by: Sander van Deijck Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/26279 Signed-off-by: Robert Marko
