Cristian,

I was asking questions on #backports IRC channel since I also am trying to get a
more up-to-date backports release. I had started patching from 5.15 and was
making some progress, but it was going slower than I'd like and then Hauke
shared this tree with me:

https://github.com/nbd168/backports

It appears to be on 6.5, I have only pulled the code at this point and haven't
fully tested it since we had a holiday here in US and I have been traveling and
with family.

Felix is maintaining that tree for OpenWrt from what I have been told.
You can see various 6.x backports tarballs here if you search "backports":

https://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/

I am going to be digging into this for Realtek backports repos that Larry and I
work on. It seems like there is some renewed interest in backports these
days, haha.

Let me know if I can help in any way as I am working on similar problems.

I will report back if any issues come while working with Felix's tree. I am very
grateful it was shared with me to say the least...
