Release 0.5

As of many user ask me to add support of MIUI variant, start with this version and later will support it. But i won't accept kind of bugs comes from MIUI based rom. Because this kernel using lineage tree as based, which some of dummy codes from Xiaomi Opensource are not merged into lineage. And also there are fews driver was introduced in the lineage tree but not supported in the MIUI. There might some of debug codes required by MIUI but not implemented in the kernel. This why i warn you to use lineage based rom for better experience with kernel based on lineage tree.

Changelogs :

• Add support for MIUI based ROM (Stupid idea)
• Merge 4.9.166
• Upstream with Lineage tree
• Upstream with Google Common 4.9
• Update default RNDIS class for Xiaomi (Fix usb tether issues)

Can it be that you, by mistake, still published the 4.9.165-Canting-0.4 version on GitHub? At least it says so under settings/about the phone.
