I think parent comment wasn't asking for third party, non-GPL drivers to be mainlined, but for a stable interface for out-of-tree drivers.

The idea that Linux needs better support for out of tree drivers is like someone going to church and saying to the priest "I don't care about this Jesus stuff but can I have some free wine and cookies please".
Full disclosure my day job is to write out of tree drivers for Linux :)
