My understanding is that if the SoC drivers would be upstreamed, the cost would be negligible.

- unmole 5y agoThe Linux kernel is a small part of Android. The bulk of the changes and fixes are in the userspace framework.
- mhitza 5y agoPlease go into detail, if you can. As the Linux kernel champions backwards compatibility it should not break userspace. And updates to userspace I imagine to be similar to Linux distros, just needing to update system/userspace libs and apps. The only time I see problems, is when the system-level software requires new hardware features that older models do not have.
