>The problem is SoC manufacturers that don't want to put in the work to upstream drivers.

They don't _open source_ their drivers.

[NoGravitas]

Many (most?) of them do open source their drivers. But even then, no one is willing to do the work to upstream them.

[yareally]

They sometimes release the driver blobs so you don't have to rip them off the device, but rarely have I heard of drivers being open sourced outside of a few scattered instances.
