I already have a local branch to add preliminary support for the OpenWrt One router [1] [2] which uses the same SoC :-) [1] https://forum.openwrt.org/t/openwrt-one-celebrating-20-years-of-openwrt/183684 [2] https://forum.openwrt.org/t/openwrt-one-celebrating-20-years-of-openwrt/183684/331 > There is a relevant discussion in https://salsa.debian.org/kernel- > team/linux/-/merge_requests/906#note_483427 which was the code change that > added the MT8xxx support about the various MT6xxx and MT7xxx modules being > disabled.

And that was precisely about adding support for the OpenWrt One ;-) Happy to update my local branch and add support for the BPi R-3. I'm waiting for some (unrelated) other changes, but when that's posted I intend to build a 6.10-rcX based kernel with it and I can 'merge' my router branch into that. With that you could verify if it indeed works. HTH, Diederik
