Only 4 years have passed. Not 8. I'm an end user,that's how I count. I may agree
that,generally .
I've even requested that nvidia to better support upstream on tegra210
(nano) on this thread
https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/efi-support-for-jetson-tx1-and-runn...
Maybe if more interested nano end-users would come with this concern
on their forum, it would make them change this behavior.
I'm more into thinking that nvidia uses this lack of upstream support
to force EOL on these devices... So that's a kind of vendor locking.
But upstream concern on jetson forum isn't that common for some reason...
They have improved a LOT with their upstream work but they view the
SoC that the nano is based upon as now basically EOL so it's more if
the work also aligns with the newer SoCs they're focused on. The newer
Jetpack releases use much newer kernels with a lot more things that
are upstream but the 5.x and later releases only support Xavier/Orin.
