Linux kernel 5.10 (or 5.4) with Debian Buster

2021-05-18 Thread Brendan Simon (eTRIX)
ave cherry-picked some newer KSZ9131 commits and hope that it works. Just wondering, is it safe to use kernel 5.4 or 5.10 with Debian Buster packages? My preference would be 5.10 (over 5.4), mainly because that is what Unstable/Testing is currently using. Thanks, Brendan.
