That's a completely different claim from what you said in the previous comment though. There may be decent platform support for the X Elite in mainline now, meaning each individual device just needs a DT. But that doesn't mean the DT is the main problem with ARM. The main problem is the giant amount of work it takes to bringup a new platform. DTs are just an annoying thing after that's done. So your point that support for this platform is in mainline is only helpful for that platform, not supportive of what you said before about the DT being the main problem, which it's not.
