[Cake] Patch "sch_cake: avoid possible divide by zero in cake_enqueue()" has been added to the 4.19-stable tree

[Dave Taht]

Thank you for all the gymnastics to keep cake alive in openwrt.

I would still like there to be a sce branch of the out of tree work
that I could point people at
in my lca talk this week, but I understand that's increasingly difficult.

Unfortunately some targets in openwrt are still on 4.14 kernels so there is no in-tree CAKE to use.  Dropping CAKE from pre 4.19 kernels caused a bit of an outcry when I did it, so the next idea was to have a choice of cake kernel module for K4.19 targets, in-tree & out-of-tree CAKE.  Unfortunately that exposed a weakness in package dependency selection, so that idea hasn’t flown either.  I’m afraid enthusiasm levels then dropped.
