This is the last (almost) upstream kernel I tried, unfortunately
recently I am very short on spare time, so cannot confirm for 4.x
kernels, but in theory those should work as well.

The kernel tree was on gitorious, but it is down now(I have a local
copy). However, all of the needed patches should be on
https://github.com/pali/linux-n900.
