how good are you with patches?

you'll need to find/copy/edit/create/test a few hundred patches to do that...

this is a setting under the target folder (target/linux/bcm27xx) no work really needed...

ask the pi-fountation for their half? and create the rest ( well 5.11 is not too to massive a jump... likely a fair but of stuff laying around )

then maybe hire someone or wait for some official bumps?

seriously tho... you'll have much better chances of success if you limit yourself just to rasp(ian|os) or similar full distro where user kernel compilation is more common...
