Btw, Qualcomm and MediaTek do _not_ block kernel source releases by OEMs in any way.
You will still want to get the source tree from the OEM even for new devices though.
While the GKI means that kernels are the same across recent devices, kernel modules and device tree sources for the specific device aren't part of that.

What the ODM should probably have done is either make it out-of-tree or make an unencumbered implementation (if that is the problem at all) and ship that. Or maybe they just made a mistake or were lazy and will include it after the weekend when people are actually back at work.
