help with compilation of driver and firmware update [sm-p905]



i have two questions , first is about compiling eth driver for the sm-p905

sorry i am not clear because i can not post link , i can sent them in pm

i have downloaded the kitkat kernel from samsung after reading : xxxxxx
Mobile Phone SM-P905 P905XXUANAE SM-P905_KK_Opensource.zip

i also downloaded the files at : developer.android
Windows installer_r24.4.1-windows.exe and android-studio-bundle-141.2288178-windows.exe

i want to know what exe i install and how i install the kernel , then i hope to compile the linux kernel driver for the usb3-eth plug xxxxx


my second question is about firmware , i live in france and found my sm-p905 on the web...bad choice because the region is XFM [ south africa ] and still not updated to 5.0.2..
i found a software that i have intalled and seems to be well running at unlocksamsungonlinecom
it does some changes for free : SRS Samsung Product Code change

is it safe ? i want to set region to france XEF
beside that i downloaded my current firmware xfm and the xef 5.02 at samsung-firware.org
the first file is P905XXUANAE_P905OJVANB1_P905XXUANA7_HOME.tar.md5 with a size of 2.461.612.111
the second is P905XXUABOG1_P905XEFABOG1_P905XXUABOF4_HOME.tar.md 5 with a size of 2.479.261.778

how can i check the partition sizes because the update is bigger that the old , i saw a tool that can remove apps , is there an other one here for my sm-p905 : RomCleaner 1.0
i could shrink it a bit then do the firmware update using a sd-card after region change ?

what i prefer is to compile the eth driver , but if i update to 5.0.2 then it will no longer work until i ll get the kernel 5.0.2 from samsung , no ?
thank you in advance
