Build it, try it 😉

Should be possible to build this module against Kernel 5.4.

Update the version, e.g. to what OpenWRT main uses

https://github.com/ofmodemsandmen/ROOterSource2102/blob/53f4ed4e4c469a25a0688a29530c9c86fb39a5ec/package/kernel/mwlwifi/Makefile#L16-L20

PKG_SOURCE_URL:=https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi
PKG_SOURCE_PROTO:=git
PKG_SOURCE_DATE:=2023-11-29
PKG_SOURCE_VERSION:=ebf3167445f108346dcff9a31a708534c0bd7cc5
PKG_MIRROR_HASH:=1d39ad25f4ad1fafff03a70341c2dabde8db4075f56163d40f8ae8aef2e2bb2d

(version is just the git commit hash of this repository)

You might need to refresh the (one) patch in the parent directory as well and/or pick some additional patches.

This basically works with OpenWRT main and 23.05 (Kernel 5.15 and 6.1)

No idea, if it's just a drop-in replacement or if it raises additional issues that have to be resolved first.
