I would be after this incident with the manufacturer: http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/05/chinese-arm-vendor-l...

Although no state actor would leave in a kernel backdoor that is opened with "rootmydevice" as the magic word.

Indeed. I expect the backdoor is in the chip anyway, not the kernel.
