And "grep REISER /boot/config-4.19.0-8-*" shows me that it's still true
for buster.
Moreover, backported kernel version 5.4.0-0.bpo.3 has the same
"CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=m".
So, *Debian* kernel has reiserfs support, as of buster.

Let me guess - it's an Armbian kernel, right?
And this third-party kernel does not have reiserfs support.

I have that feeling that using a Debian kernel is somehow out of
question for you.
So, you could try building reiserfs as a separate module using kernel
headers for this 5.4.14-sunxi64, and a kernel source of the same version
with the same patches. Some may consider it a complex procedure, and it
will need to be repeated for future kernel versions.

That depends if that particular module allows it.
As I'm using Debian-provided kernels I did not need to check it until
now.
