The next OpenWrt release will use kernel 4.9 and kernel 4.14 depending
on the target. All targets that are *not* on either kernel 4.9 or 4.14
will not be included in the next release.
I did some overview of the kernel version some months ago here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/lede-dev/2017-October/009446.html
Here is the current situation as of today:
The following targets are on kernel 4.14 and are fine:
* apm821xx
* archs38
* armvirt
* cns3xxx
* malta
* mediatek
* octeon
* octeontx
* sunxi
* x86
The following targets are on kernel 4.9 and are fine:
* ar71xx
* ar7
* arc770
* at91
There are some patches for kernel 4.14 on the mailing list
waiting for response from author
* ath25
* bcm53xx
patches for 4.14 are available in master
* brcm2708
* brcm47xx
* brcm63xx
patches for 4.14 are available in master
* imx6
There are some patches for kernel 4.14 on the mailing list
which is being worked on
* ipq806x
* ixp4xx
* kirkwood
* lantiq
patches for 4.14 are in Mathias Kresin's staging tree.
* layerscape
* mpc85xx
* mvebu
patches for 4.14 are available in master
I would like to get this to kernel 4.14 by default soon.
* mxs
* omap
* orion
* pistachio
* ramips
patches for 4.14 are available in master
* rb532
* uml
The following targets are on kernel 4.4 and will probably not be
included in the next release:
* gemini
* oxnas
* zynq
The following targets are on kernel 3.18 and will probably not be
included in the next release:
* adm5120
* adm8668
* au1000
* mcs814x
I have patches which port this target to 4.4 in my tree, but
nobody tested them.
https://git.lede-project.org/?p=lede/hauke/staging.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/kernel-4.4
* ppc40x
* ppc44x
* xburst
I have patches which port this target to 4.4 in my tree, but

https://git.lede-project.org/?p=lede/hauke/staging.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/kernel-4.4
This target is on kernel 4.1 (WTF):
* omap24xx
All the targets which are not on kernel 4.9 or 4.14 will probably not be
included in the next release, I also haven't seen any activity for any
of them to get support for more recent kernel versions, if you need them
please take care now.

Hi Hauke,
I planned to make that list today, thanks for taking care of it !. I
would like to see ar71xx and ramips stay on v4.9, regardless of
there being patches for v4.14. I would also like to see ar71xx never
being bumped to v4.14, I spent a few days last week revamping my old
ath79 port and would like to see a hard cut, moving QCA mips target
to OF only post release.
Out of curiosity, what is the reason not to bump ar71xx to v4.14?
Looking at the projected EOL of kernels, the move from v4.4 (Feb,
2022) to v4.9 (Jan, 2019) drastically reduced the time remaining for
this platform.
