ONLY use a older LTS kernel if you already have a device up and working
properly and you need "long term" support for it.  Do NOT use it for
bringing up a new device and expecting everything to work properly on it
at all.  That should only be done on the latest stable release, and
sometimes, if you are using an older system, on the latest LTS release.

4.14.y is neither the latest LTS release, nor the latest stable release.
Please try either 4.19.y or 5.1 to see if Linux even works on this
device.  If so, then worry about running an older kernel (but you really
do not want to do that anyway.)

There are lots and lots of changes that have happened all over the
kernel tree since 4.14.0 was released.  Don't assume things are not
connected at all, they are not.

So please, try 5.1, and if that doesn't work, we will be glad to help
you out.

If you insist on using 4.14 for a device you do not even know if it
works or not, you really are on your own.
