This has been done. There is now a dev-4.19 branch:

 https://github.com/openbmc/linux/commits/dev-4.19

The tree this time around was a simple rebase of the 4.18 tree on top
of 4.19. I didn't drop any patches (aside from those that went
upstream).

I've published a gerrit commit that bumps openbmc to use this version.
This has had some testing by our CI on Witherspoon and Romulus, and I
did some manual testing on Romulus and Palmetto (hardware and Qemu). I
intend to merge it tomorrow:

 https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/c/openbmc/meta-aspeed/+/16363

Please test on your platforms, submit the patch sets you would like to
see included.
