I have looked at some of that, seems stuck on arm64. Pass the salt ;o)
I'm about halfway thru building a 5.16.2-rt19 kernel7l right now on the
rpi4. Maybe that will work. That is about as bleeding edge as can be
built right now. But I see it building modules it will never use on a pi.
So I need to run menuconfig and turn a bunch of that stuff off.
