    That is the real problem, why is it frozen so early? Why not keep it up to date for more of the development lifecycle rather than shipping a 2 year old kernel. It is not like you have to worry about OTA updates if you have not shipped it yet,

      Drivers from 3rd party. Didn't work on phone development, but was part of a company that developed setup boxes.

      We will get a kernel from broadcom with all the necessary drivers that was tested for that configuration. Updating was very hard without support and might cost a lot.
