Do Android kernels get a device tree blob from the bootloader? Or do they still use hard-coded platform device hacks?
@CopperheadSec @RikuVoipio Bleh, so a custom OS for these devices needs to provide its own per-device kernel image, defeating purpose of DT.

@RichFelker@RikuVoipio Each Nexus device has a dedicated kernel source tree anyway. They're branched from the out-of-tree per-SoC kernels. -
@CopperheadSec@RikuVoipio I know, and that's utter shit.https://twitter.com/CopperheadSec/status/712103825625186304 … -
@CopperheadSec@RikuVoipio They should all be booting stock kernels with properly upstreamed drivers & nothing different but the DTB. -
@RichFelker@RikuVoipio Yeah, it's awful. It makes it quite hard for us to use PaX / grsecurity on Android since they track stable and 3.14. -
@RichFelker@RikuVoipio And the out-of-tree drivers need to be adjusted for it... not to mention the forced device obsolescence it implies.
