(This is another difference between the Asahi Linux project and Corellium's kernel; we're going through the bureaucracy of standardizing all of our DeviceTree bindings, which takes time but establishes a common reference that other OSes such as OpenBSD and bootloaders such as U-Boot can use to also support drivers for this hardware using our first-level bootloader.)
Indeed. This is why I'm not as enthusiastic about an ARM desktop future as everyone else is and honestly I'm quite terrified. The happy accident that the original IBM PC was, is that it had and open BIOS and HW interfaces which allowed HW vendors to come up with clones that were compatible with the rest of the ecosystem allowing for a chaotic anarcho-democracy where no vendor had control over the ecosystem, so today in the PC realm we have this open garden that everyone can install virtually whatever HW and SW they want.
Now, Apple, Qualcomm, Microsoft, Nvidia(through their desired acquisition of ARM) have seen the mistakes IBM has made which got them kicked out of their own ecosystem and, instead of going through a standardized, open route, try to create their own HW+SW walled gardens where they can rule with an iron fist and lock everything in.
I don't care if they bring 2X the performance/slimness, I just don't want to be locked into a walled garden and then be monetized through rent-seeking behavior.
But that is what sucks. That's why embedded is creating all these piles of e-waste doomed to only run crappy outdated vendor kernels unless someone invests huge effort into reverse engineering. The whole "we don't need" attitude in regards to standard things that mainline kernels Just Work with is evil.
And now – with both Apple and Qualcomm – we have this embedded crap powering general purpose laptops…
