Exynos 9810 and Galaxy S9 (starlte)

Hi,

As a Galaxy S9 (G960F, starlte) owner I'm glad to see the progress on adding the Exynos SoC to the mainstream. Is there any chance that the Exynos 9810 will be added as well? There are a huge number of devices based on this SoC:

 - https://doc.samsungmobile.com/sm-g965f/dbt/doc.html
 - https://doc.samsungmobile.com/sm-n960f/dbt/doc.html
 - https://doc.samsungmobile.com/sm-n770f/dbt/doc.html
 - https://doc.samsungmobile.com/sm-t575/dbt/doc.html
 - https://doc.samsungmobile.com/sm-t577u/xac/doc.html

Currently only the last two devices receive security updates. The rest are using severely outdated kernel and drivers. For some devices there is LineageOS support, but there kernel has not been updated for more than a year:

I am able to build a kernel from source code, but the 4.9 branch is no longer supported. My attempts to use a fresh version of the kernel failed due to my lack of programming experience. I have created a document listing the components of some of the devices, perhaps it will be useful. I can send the ods file if needed.

Some device versions have Qualcomm SDM845 SoC and are already supported in mainstream. It might make it easier to add support for Exynos 9810 based devices. For example,
