But yes, this is definitely an issue. I've been playing with a 2013-era Samsung device that came with a 3.0 kernel. It can run pmos with said kernel but there are multiple root LPE vulns. I've been looking into getting it to run a mainline kernel just for fun, but it's not going to be easy.

I note that Linux mainline has a device tree for the "Samsung Galaxy S1 (GT-I9000) based on S5PV210", not sure how complete it is though. Lots of others too:

  $ grep -rhoE 'Samsung Galaxy[^"]+' ./arch/arm*/boot/dts/ | sort -u

This is the kind of task I've found tools like Codex to be pretty good at. You just have to be able to give it good enough access to test and debug its work.
