Remember how many *years* it took to get CEC support in the kernel? Or just emmc-rpmb?
I remember the time that Net-BSD was called to run on almost every system. And I can tell you how that worked on my HP-9000 and on my DEC: you downloaded the net-bsd kernel using the serial cable and booted it, and you could just communicate with net-bsd using that serial cable.
Anyway: if we look at the odroid U3, which should have vanilla kernel support, you still don't have access to the image rotator, because the kernel does not have infra structure for layered drm, and patches to do so have been rejected. At least the v4l-m2m infra was accepted years ago, so encoders and decoders conforming to that standard can be used from gstreamer.
