It almost makes me feel like MS had the right model with Windows Phone to a large degree, they decided what chipsets were supported and were responsible for integrating support into the platform - though their list of support SoCs was woefully small. I really see no reason Google couldn’t take the reigns in on developing board support packages for SoC’s and if OEM’s want to use new ones that aren’t in-tree they either work to get it merged or Google doesn’t give them a Google Apps license for the device.
