I think because the users of this board actually do benefit from having 
the support upstream, instead of having to lug around random downstream 
patches in assorted state of decay.

Why not ? There are users who benefit from having their board support 
upstream. This is what other SoC vendors do as well, it does not seem to 
be a problem, rather it is a good indicator that the SoC has users who 
care about it and about upstream.

If you do require a sample board, I could try to arrange that.
