But by that definition, what linux isn't 'based on mainline linux'? Unless they're offering some guarantee that they'll keep their patches up-to-date...

  There some boards out there still running on 2.6.x series, and many running 3.0 - those would not qualify as “mainline linux״ at this time. Some boards can boot a kernel.org kernel without patches; those run “mainline Linux”, not something “based” on it.

    Do you know of any board that can run mainline Linux with support for all components?

      The closest you're likely gonna get is an i.MX6 based board.
