I don't think it really matters for the end user if NXP isn't mainline. If they are jumping between vendor kernel and mainline, and inheriting some state left over from the NXP driver in vendor kernel, it makes debugging very confusing. It would be less of an issue if a warm reset actually reset the tda998x part, but that is not the case, it is better to rely less on the hw state when the driver is loaded, IMHO.
