He's not the final arbiter of what goes into the mainline kernel :-)

Look, either the kernel should support appended DTB booting, or it
shouldn't. If it shouldn't, then that code should be ripped out of the
kernel completely, and we tell people 'tough luck'. If it should, then it
makes sense to help the millions of folks out there with locked
bootloaders to build and boot new kernels. This half-support that's in the
kernel now is not good.
