I think that's uncharitable even if I am using superlatives to describe the situation. We have plenty of examples in the wild. Just look at the state of Pine64

We have plenty of examples in the wild. Just look at the state of Pine64 and u-boot, for example. It's a mess of standards.
And what you see as a strength others don't.
- avianes 4y agoPine64 is based on an Allwinner A64 which has a ARM GIC-400. ARM GIC-400 is a standard GIC IP from ARM and compliant with ARM GICv2 specification. It seems pretty standard to me, not a custom GIC as Apple. And yes, in u-boot there are plenty of device-trees for each target. What's wrong with that? The device tree is usually provided by the manufacturer, the compiled device tree is usually very small and allows genericity.
