Will 1.4.x still work with 5.10 kernels? I guess the old API will just be deprecated for a while?

So I guess we have two possibilities going forward: 

- Use the version switch I proposed and even extend it when 2.0 and headers 5.10 are released
or
- Stay on the 1.4.x branch until linux 5.5 is the oldest supported version (if this is possible).

Regards,
Michael
