Is it possible to port and compile a kernel module from an older kernel?
The kernel module that I'm talking about here is BCM_WIMAX. It's been depreciated from "staging" on Linux kernel 3.18. Is it possible to port it to kernel 4.4?
3.18 - https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v3.18/drivers/staging/Kconfig
4.4 - https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.4/drivers/staging/Kconfig
I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. I'm currently on Raspbian and its latest release has 4.4 kernel. Is is possible to compile BCM_WIMAX for 4.4 kernel? Or does Pi 3 has a compatible image with BCM_WIMAX support?
I'm a newbie to Linux kernels and I apologize for not making my question clearer.
