README.md and customization.cfg: Only kernel version 5.x supported, not 6.x? -- Probably documentation is out of date. #779

Ahoj,

I am currently making myself familiar with the linux-tkg build system.

I have cloned https://github.com/Frogging-Family/linux-tkg.git, and now I read the bundled README.md.

There it states stuff specific only for 5.x kernels -- but kernels are now already at 6.x:

User patches

To apply your own patch files using the provided scripts, you will need to put them in a linux5y-tkg-userpatches folder -- y needs to be changed with the kernel version the patch works on [...]

Taking the README.md verbally, I would assume that for 6.x kernels the userpatches feature is not supported.

If that is not the case, and only the documentation is outdated, then I suggest to re-phrase the documentation to be generic with regard to kernel version -- e.g.:

User patches

To apply your own patch files using the provided scripts, you will need to put them in a linuxXY-tkg-userpatches folder -- X and Y needs to be changed with the kernel version the patch works on [...]

Also, the customization.cfg has wrong information.

It says

# "config_hardened.x86_64" : config file for a hardened kernel, available for kernel version "5.13", "5.10" and "5.4" .

But a ls */*/*hardened* reveals that it must be "5.15", "5.13", "5.11", "5.10", "5.7" and "5.4".

Also, it seems to support only 5.x kernels out of the box:

# Kernel Version - Options are "5.4", and from "5.7" to "5.19"

There might be other places where information seems inconsistent with reality.

Regards!
