Merging developers do not keep the driver up to date with changing kernel

more of kernel versions, but Andrea Bondavalli has created some patches
which allow the driver to build with the latest kernels, as well as a GPL
user space daemon to replace the closed source Merging tool.

If you download the AES67 daemon project it will download and build the
patched ravenna-alsa-driver into the "3rd party" subdirectory.
Sort of annoying, given that Linux has been around for 30 years or so,
powers _all_ of the top 100 supercomputers (last time I looked) and is
the most installed kernel in the world (Android uses it). Still, nobody
feels there is a point in supporting it. Well ok, Intel GPU support
tends to be comparatively useful. And the class-compliant part of
class-compliant devices tends to work.
But somehow that's not all too different from the state 20 years ago.
