      That’s the issue with most ARM SOCs. We really need more mainline compatible ARM (or mass market RISC-V) chips

          I stand correct then. I wonder what the problem is with the JingPad in that case. Like, is there some weird hardware or chip that they’re using that only has proprietary drivers? Or are they just not making their own custom hardware drivers open source?

              Most soc drivers are closed sourced and compiled into the kernel.

              The biggest pitfall of a monolithic kernel is the security implications of these drivers.
