The next OpenWrt release will use kernel 4.9 and kernel 4.14 depending
on the target. All targets that are *not* on either kernel 4.9 or 4.14

I did some overview of the kernel version some months ago here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/lede-dev/2017-October/009446.html
Here is the current situation as of today:
The following targets are on kernel 4.14 and are fine:
* apm821xx
* archs38
* armvirt
* cns3xxx
* malta
* mediatek
* octeon
* octeontx
* sunxi
* x86
The following targets are on kernel 4.9 and are fine:
* ar71xx
* ar7
* arc770
* at91
There are some patches for kernel 4.14 on the mailing list
waiting for response from author
* ath25
* bcm53xx
patches for 4.14 are available in master
* brcm2708
* brcm47xx
* brcm63xx
patches for 4.14 are available in master
* imx6
There are some patches for kernel 4.14 on the mailing list
which is being worked on
* ipq806x
* ixp4xx
* kirkwood
* lantiq
patches for 4.14 are in Mathias Kresin's staging tree.
* layerscape
* mpc85xx
* mvebu
patches for 4.14 are available in master
I would like to get this to kernel 4.14 by default soon.
* mxs
* omap
* orion
* pistachio
* ramips
patches for 4.14 are available in master
* rb532
* uml
The following targets are on kernel 4.4 and will probably not be
included in the next release:
* gemini
* oxnas
* zynq
The following targets are on kernel 3.18 and will probably not be
included in the next release:
* adm5120
* adm8668
* au1000
* mcs814x
I have patches which port this target to 4.4 in my tree, but
nobody tested them.
https://git.lede-project.org/?p=lede/hauke/staging.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/kernel-4.4
* ppc40x
* ppc44x
* xburst
I have patches which port this target to 4.4 in my tree, but

https://git.lede-project.org/?p=lede/hauke/staging.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/kernel-4.4
This target is on kernel 4.1 (WTF):
* omap24xx
All the targets which are not on kernel 4.9 or 4.14 will probably
not be
included in the next release, I also haven't seen any activity for any
of them to get support for more recent kernel versions, if you need
them
please take care now.

Hi Hauke,
I planned to make that list today, thanks for taking care of it !. I
would like to see ar71xx and ramips stay on v4.9, regardless of there
being patches for v4.14. I would also like to see ar71xx never being
bumped to v4.14, I spent a few days last week revamping my old ath79
port and would like to see a hard cut, moving QCA mips target to OF
only post release.
Out of curiosity, what is the reason not to bump ar71xx to v4.14?
Looking at the projected EOL of kernels, the move from v4.4 (Feb,
2022) to v4.9 (Jan, 2019) drastically reduced the time remaining for
this platform.
we have long planned to move ar71xx over to OF and decided that this
might be the right time to do so. currently units will have ~300k on
flash for mac files and ~1,5M in ram for them. the target is pretty
messy at places, so moving it to OF will only give us advantages.
