It would be surprising if Fuchsia followed linux by not having a stable ABI for drivers. Setting up a stable interface would make it easier for Google to label that "not my problem."

Android has a stable ABI for drivers since Treble, which kind of forced Linux into a pseudo-microkernel architecture, allowing for user space drivers written in either Java or C++, communicating over the HIDL messages/shared mem.
