    Any tips on how to adapt mainline kernel to obscure old devices? I mean, mainline doesn’t have ALL the drivers and something will not work out of the box, p.s i want to mainline “redmi note 4x mtk”, literary NOBODY try it for many years while it’s exact twin but on snapdragon gets updated to this day, so i decided fuck it we ball, I’m gonna do this myself, so I’m searching for sources how to adapt mainline kernel to obscure hardware
