That doesn't matter. It's still Linux-based and you still need to release the modified sources (I'd say enough to allow the building of a complete filesystem image for the device).
To make it clear: This whole argument is *ONLY* about the HDMI chip driver, which is the only closed source part in the kernel. This part is *not* a modification of some existing code.
That part may not be, but "you can't simply switch the kernel anyway, as it has many additions for the V4L-stuff." That (to me) says 'modified kernel source'...
But that's included as source and released by Micronas as GPL. What I meant with "you can't simply" was that you need to do the all the diff'ing and porting the additions to a newer kernel version, which will not be actively supported. You can do it but I doubt the gain and RMM will stick to the "official" kernel version provided by Micronas anyway.
