And ARM had constantly updated Linux kernels and drivers from Qualcomm before didn’t they?

  ARM works very, very closely with the Linux kernel. The issues with updated code in the kernel isn't because of ARM CPU IP.

    ARM hasn't been much better than Nvidia for GPU code.

      Which is why I said CPU IP. That being said, it's a little hard to blame them there, GPUs are a bit of a patent minefield.

  ARM has helped found Linaro (linaro.org) ~10 years ago to fix the problem with mainline Linux integration for all the participating SoC vendors. You should expect the following manufacturers to have good mainline support: https://www.linaro.org/membership/ https://www.linaro.org/membership/ I am sure your mileage will vary between vendors (I am pretty sure Qualcomm was NOT one of the founding members, but it's there now), but this at least signals an investment of money and resources.
