Update to the next LTS Kernel

I am using an Edimax EW-7811ULC Wi-Fi dongle, which should be supported starting with kernel version 6.14 and later out of the box. The current Kernel 6.12 is still supported until December. The Linux Kernel Archives - Releases

I would like to request the update to the next LTS Kernel version 6.18.

I was able to get this device to work by building an out of three kernel module. However, the problem is that the kernel module is always tied to a specific Balena OS version. If someone updates the host OS to a version that is no longer compatible with the Edimax kernel module, the device loses its internet connection and cannot be reset remotely.
