Afaik Snapdragon has no reputation for being particularly Linux-friendly, but that knowledge is probably outdated.
I'm willing to compromise for a proprietary firmware here and there, but I'm not going to buy a device that needs proprietary kernel modules or other proprietary software for essential tasks.
Regardless of anyones intentions, if mainline kernel is important to you then I wouldn't buy anything until someone has demonstrated it working with such.

Certainly it won't come with such things out of the box, and is at best a gamble if you want anything other than android.
