It's pretty simple:

 - If a platform has reasonable support in the mainline Linux kernel,
   then we prefer if our defconfigs use the mainline Linux kernel. By
   "reasonable" support, I mean support with sufficient features for
   the platform to actually be useful.

 - If a platform doesn't have reasonable support in the mainline Linux
   kernel, then we accept defconfigs that use other Linux kernel trees
   (from vendors, or community maintained, etc.).

Best regards,

Thomas
