Some of the newer NanoPi models have 2.5G ethernet ports - I may end up replacing my current router with one of those if they eventually receive official OpenWRT support.

Given the fixes here for the boot up sequence, I'd imagine that it'll happen when OpenWRT starts it's upgrades to the kernel for the next major release. I believe 6.1 is supposed to be the next LTS series which means that OpenWRT and other distros will pick it up as their next major kernel version to support. Even if they don't pick it, these patches sound like excellent candidates for back porting since they fix some key issues for some boards and look to be fairly isolated and so less likely to cause other bugs.

Are they able to route packets at 2.5G speeds? They don't have dedicated routing or switching chips, so I'm wondering if the CPU can handle that.

I don't have either of these, but they claim the R5S can handle 2.1Gbps, and 2.35Gbps for the R6S. So, not quite 2.5, but close.
