mt76: pass LED define via ccflags-y

2026-04-03T17:13:17Z

Replace the deprecated EXTRA_CFLAGS with ccflags-y so that the -DCONFIG_MT76_LEDS define is applied correctly by the kernel build system. EXTRA_CFLAGS is no longer honored by recent kbuilds[1]; ccflags-y is the supported variable and works on kernels 6.12 and 6.18. 1. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=v6.18.20&id=f77bf01425b11947eeb3b5b54685212c302741b8 Signed-off-by: Mieczyslaw Nalewaj Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/22737 Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens

rtl8812au-ct: restrict to kernels ≤ 6.18

2026-03-28T10:51:11Z

The rtl8812au-ct driver is obsolete and replaced by rtw88. It will need tons of work to compile against 6.18 so for now limit it to 6.12. Co-authored-by: Mieczyslaw Nalewaj Signed-off-by: John Audia Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/21078 Signed-off-by: Robert Marko

kernel: sound: 6.18: update module files

2026-03-28T10:51:11Z

This kernel reorganized HDA drivers into sound/hda/ subdirectories and split codec drivers into modular components. Core modules moved to sound/hda/{core,common,codecs,controllers}/ with version conditionals (@ge6.18/@lt6.18) added for backward compatibility. Codec drivers split into multiple modules: - Realtek: library + 10 chipset modules (ALC260-ALC882) - HDMI: base + 6 vendor modules (Intel, ATI, NVIDIA, etc.) - Cirrus: 3 chipset modules (CS420X, CS421X, CS8409) Signed-off-by: John Audia Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/21078 Signed-off-by: Robert Marko

kernel: usb-dwc3-qcom: package legacy Qualcomm glue driver

2026-03-28T10:51:10Z

Linux 6.18 now builds both dwc3-qcom.ko and dwc3-qcom-legacy.ko under CONFIG_USB_DWC3_QCOM. [1] Upstream qcom-ipq4019.dtsi still uses the legacy Qualcomm DWC3 DT layout, so ipq40xx boards require the legacy glue driver for USB host bring-up.

mt76: use hrtimer_setup() in mt76x02u beacon init

2026-03-28T10:51:10Z

Replace the two-step hrtimer initialization pattern with a single consolidated call to hrtimer_setup(). The legacy approach of calling hrtimer_init() followed by manual assignment to timer.function is deprecated. The new hrtimer_setup() helper atomically initializes the timer and assigns the callback function in one operation, eliminating the race-prone intermediate state where the timer is initialized but lacks a handler.

mac80211: ath9k: gpio: adapt to 6.16+ gpio_chip API change

2026-03-28T10:51:10Z

Linux 6.16 changed the return type of gpio_chip.set() from void to int. Add a version check so the driver builds correctly on both older and newer kernels[1]. 1. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=v6.16&id=fb52f3226cab41b94f9e6ac92b1108bce324e700 Signed-off-by: Mieczyslaw Nalewaj Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/21078 Signed-off-by: Robert Marko

mac80211: restore pre-6.14 debugfs_fops handling

2026-03-28T10:51:10Z

Reintroduce old-style debugfs file_operations for kernels < 6.14 and switch the drivers to use debugfs_short_fops + debugfs_create_file_aux on >= 6.14. This restores compatibility with older kernels while keeping the new debugfs API working on 6.14+.

mac80211: fix build failure on kernel 6.18

2026-03-28T10:51:10Z

Kernel since version 6.16 defines `SOCKWQ_ASYNC_NOSPACE` and SOCKWQ_ASYNC_WAITDATA` in the socket_flags enum, which causes redefinition errors when compiling the backport package[1]. Since kernel 6.12 also has them defined, the test and definition of these constants have been completely abandoned. Thanks to this, there are no compilation errors on either kernel 6.12 or 6.18. 1. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=v6.16&id=0e81cfd971dc4833c699dcd8924e54a5021bc4e8 Signed-off-by: Mieczyslaw Nalewaj Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/21078 Signed-off-by: Robert Marko
