Sorry, not a GPU guy, can you point me to something that documents this policy of 'only opensource compilers for GPU'? I looked under linux/Documentation and didn't see anything.
The current patchset doesn't have anything to do with FPGA toolchains but you're using this patchset as a platform to talk about toolchain issues.
It sounds like you are opposed to any kernel support of loading images on FPGAs until all vendors have opensource toolchains.
