Fate of kernel 4.19

There is a working solution to revert a specific commit. It has
something to do with double tagging support.
Meanwhile just a "revert" does not work anymore so I created a patchfile:

Currently, openwrt-devs are trying to support DSA and then the issue
will not longer be present. ;)

I just flashed a litebeam ac gen2 with current openwrt dev and the jffs2
error is still present.
So the device is still broken with 5.4 kernel. Especially, this device
is not contained in 19.07. :/
