This is why there will likely be fragmented efforts for bringing up the hardware. Asahi already struggled merging all of their patches into the kernel, there's a 99%+ chance that Omarchy's patches will never be fully upstreamed if the reverse engineered devicetree is uninterpretable vibeslop.

So, even though Asahi's the slow-and-steady side, it makes a lot more sense to channel your effort there.

The device tree is the least of a problem, it's a very limited, highly structured language, you don't need super deep understanding of things to get it right.

Problem is the drivers they write. The hacks, the workarounds, the utter mess. There's hundreds of commits that I am certain no one keeps track of and understands their true purpose.
