Not clear what the firmware you were talking about? I used open source linux-firmware-sd8887, uBlox SARA-R4 and uBlox EMMY on IMX6. Let's say we have been running this device for about 7 months, we used Kernel 5.1.0 before, I could not recall any error about the alignment trap in kernel. We now moved to kernel 4.19.75 LTS, that is what it occurred often, that worries me. > Do you have issues if building these two modules in kernel? No. I built the kernel and image from Yocto, there were no building issues. Thank you Peter. - jh
