Whether or not a device driver is available from a subsytem will depend on whether or not a developer decided to backport it '''and''' if the device driver is backported down to the kernel you are on. If you see the driver on '''make menuconfig''' it means you can use it. An alternative is to look at the git tree [https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/backports.git/tree/dependencies dependencies] file. Note that the [https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/backports.git/tree/dependencies dependencies] '''does not''' exist on a final release, it only exists on the development git tree and the one linked here is the one on the master branch -- you should look at the [https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/backports.git/refs/ release branches] for their respective dependencies file if using an older release. Someone is welcome to come up with a fancy page that provides the device driver <--> kernel dependency map page. If a device driver is available on '''make menuconfig''' but is not listed on the [https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/backports.git/tree/dependencies dependencies] file it means it is available for usage on all supported kernel.
