Testing the changes

  • I tested the changes in this PR: YES

- 4.14 series will be EOL the 31st day of this December 2023.
- Noone bothered to update linux 4.14 past 4.14.295, while the very next
  version of that series, 4.14.296, was released in the 26th day of
  October 2022, which is more than one year ago.

CRDA is no longer needed as of kernel v4.15 since commit 007f6c5e6eb45
("cfg80211: support loading regulatory database as firmware file") added
support to use the kernel's firmware request API which looks for the
firmware on /lib/firmware. Because of this CRDA is legacy software for
older kernels. It will continue to be maintained.
