There's been some great work on mainline support for the Pixel 3XL / Snapdragon 845: https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/issues/153#note_207...

That's good to see! If I remember right, the last Google Phone with mainline support was a Nexus 5.
The Nexus 5 did not have mainline support while current; it ran a patched kernel like just about every other AOSP/Android build. Mainline support is now being provided by the postmarketOS folks for the Nexus 5, and could be achievable for other devices.
Ahh, thanks for the correction.
