That's the reason this header exists in this form and that's the reason
customers buy these boards that expose an 'RPi compatible' 26/40 pin GPIO
header. That applies also to the various Orange Pi's and other
$insert-your-favourite-fruit-here Pi  with different SoCs, eg.
Roseapple/Lemon Pi with Actions Semi's S500. Even boards that do not share
the RPi's naming scheme feature this GPIO header, eg. LeMaker's Guitar or
ODROID C1/C1+

Users expect this GPIO header being 'RPi compatible' regarding
hardware-Addons (RPi HATs), software support (each of the above boards has a
ported WiringPi lib) and tutorials they find on the net. Breaking this
compatibility with mainline kernel is not a good idea IMO.

Best regards,

Thomas
