Linux kernel 5.10 (or 5.4) with Debian Buster



I'm currently using Debian Buster on an embedded system (ARM) and am currently using an older 4.4 kernel.

I need to upgrade to later version to support a new Ethernet Phy device (KSZ9131).

Kernel 4.19 is the default for Buster, but it doesn't seem to have the KSZ9131 support.  I have cherry-picked some newer KSZ9131 commits and hope that it works.

Just wondering, is it safe to use kernel 5.4 or 5.10 with Debian Buster packages?

My preference would be 5.10 (over 5.4), mainly because that is what Unstable/Testing is currently using.

Thanks, Brendan.
