That's a great update.
Apart from the main Android patches, there are many vendor specific patches to Android. For example, for ICS, TI added a "dsscomp" driver. They chose not to use the DRM driver (perhaps it was not ready when ICS was in development) or the V4L2 driver. The net result is that the V4L2 output driver for OMAP4, which was perfectly working in the linux kernel in the 2.6.3x series, became unmaintained in the 3.x mainline and is not working till this date (even in the linaro's kernel tree).

This is very true. For my talk, I did not cover the device specific android git trees, and instead I kept it limited to the common.git tree (which contains the changes required for every device).
