CC3300MOD: Could CC3300 linux driver support Linus kernel 5.11 ?

Hi Jerry,

For kernel porting, our rule is to support the kernel versions that are marked as LTS by kernel.org: https://www.kernel.org/

This rule has been working well because also the MPU vendors (TI, NXP, STM, etc.) have then developed their own Processor SDKs based off of the LTS kernel versions. You can find all of the kernel ports we have already done here: https://github.com/TexasInstruments-Sandbox/cc33xx-linux-mpu-ports/ 

However, an exception can be made. I would ask that you understand with customer why specifically kernel 5.11 is being used and if they have any plans to switch kernel versions. 

With 5.11 kernel specifically, I do not have hardware that supports 5.11. So I can develop the patch, but customer must understand that I would not have tested it, so they would have to test on their own. 

Please confirm with customer that kernel 5.11 is being used and that this isn't a typo.
