(Please cc me on replies). Significant percentage of phones run Linux kernel today, but geting mainline kernel to work on a phone is very hard to do. (So hard, that newest device that is close to working on recent mainline was made in 2009.) There are multiple obstacles, including huge patches from silicon vendors, missing GNU/Linux userspace support that makes kernel testing hard, interfaces unsuitable for phones and power management problems.
