Hmpf. Unfortunately, OpenWrt's 6.1 isn't ready yet. If I just
set the KERNEL_VERSION to 6.1 then the build-bots will fail to
produce images.

If you want to look: There's this fortify-source bug in mac80211
ath9k that needs to be fixed first:
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/12764#issuecomment-1568297522
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/12764#issuecomment-1568856473
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/12764#issuecomment-1569473000

(And it looks like not all modules dependencies have been sorted out yet).

For the time being. I could just change this to
KERNEL_TESTING_PATCHVER=6.1 and leave KERNEL_PATCHVER at 5.15.

(So, people can pick 6.1 when they do their own builds until the
6.1 woes have been sorted out?)

Cheers,
Christian
