In the last 10 years, I haven't seen a single hint that they do. One possible (absurd) explanation is that we've been observing different Nvidias from different worlds or dimensions.

If, then they only care a little bit about Linux, but they don't seem to care about OpenSource at all - at least this is the case for their graphics chips. I can't find any register specification or open drivers for this SOC either.

They care about Linux (good thing [?!?!]) cause they have a market opportunity there. I am not so sure they care about opensource at all. I like nVidia graphics cause they have both performance and a nice driver. But, if I had a choice, I'd choose some other vendor.
