+Subject: [PATCH] Fix driver loading with backports 5.3+
+
+Commit 747796b2f126 did not solve the issue that it crashes when an older kernel
+with a newer backport tries loading it, because it only detects kernel version.
+
+As net/cfg80211.h in 5.3+ defines VENDOR_CMD_RAW_DATA, use it as a condition.
