Hi Mike, just out of curiosity, are you gonna give 4.9 another try now that 18.1 is about to come out?I never finished 4.9 kernel because it fails too early and I have no real way to debug it. I might look at it in the future when I have more time, but for now 3.18 still works fine.
I will start porting 17.0 to kuntao soon and unless there is some major issue, it will be of course officially supported.
