Just to help us numbskulls sleep at night. >=20 I can't say anything about that kernel since I always use the most =20 recent kernel available, currently 4.16.4. I haven't had any problems with bleeding edge gentoo-sources. AFAIR, only work around for this hardware problems have appeared in =20 4.14 or 4.15. I don't know if these have been backported to 4.9.95. The other fix should be a contained in a recent version =20 sys-kernel/linux-firmware (I have 20180416).
