Hi Robert, There is a lot of confusion about how to make external hardware / custom capes to work with the latest kernel. For people, who do not want to downgrade or will need to update the kernel sooner or later (like myself) can you kindly point to a tutorial/reading/explanation how to do it? That will save a lot of frequent questions and doubts about the issue. Trying to search for related documentation didn't bring me anything.
