Hi,
We really need all the 96boards to be fully supported in the upstream
Linux kernel, not vendor trees. I appreciate that it takes a lot of
effort to get code upstream,

We are on it. You should see more in v4.4, v4.5. for HiKey/Hi6220 SoC.

but the benefit is that *all* the
interested distros (i.e. the ones we may not be working with directly)
can then more easily support the boards once they are in the kernel.
Also, the stability and performance of the board can improve due to
wider peer review of the code and the effective lifetime of the board
can be increased as potentially breaking code changes can be spotted
in tree.

I have been unable to do any meaningful work with my Hikey board
because I haven't been able to work with a mainline kernel on it.
Hopefully this will soon improve.

We have a hikey mainline branch now. It based on v4.3, plus several topics which are not accepted yet.

https://github.com/96boards/linux/tree/hikey-mainline-rebase

This is a rebase tree, with tracking mainline as its target.

And yes, you reminded me that I should send emails to this list when I got new features in hikey-mainline-rebase.
