Hi Peter,

We have a team to develop this Linux code, I will check with my team and see if we can use the latest Linux kernel instead of this old Linux kernel.

Thanks
Kevin

Sorry, wrong answer. It seems your development model is absolutely
incompatible with the Linux community. I think you are on your own.

If you for whatever reason insist on shipping age old Linux that's
fine - but when you want to approach the community you must really
understand that the very latest version is the only one receiving
developer attention.

You would at the very least test your code on a recent kernel,
ideally several recent kernels, to provide more data points.

It is essentially your job to know, if you work with Linux, since
there is no guarantee.
