Hello,
Your issue seems familiar but I really think that using net-next
instead of the stock kernel is the way forward. To me, backporting
changes and bugfixes would be mostly a waste of time/energy.
As Jon pointed out, you can easily configure your bootloader to
register two or more kernels to boot from.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Tony
