Having this in mainline will support in ubuntu fedira opensuse as they provide signed kernel so we can have a secure boot or verified boot support which is necessary for now a days.

We are working on it. See https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/issues/205 for details.

I think most functionality should be usable upstream on most devices, except for touch.

Yes i think this stuff should be asap like see apple m1 m2 m3 stuff has been upstreamed now you can use fedora asahi remix. And so on...

We're generally pushing it upstream as soon as we think it's in shape for that. Unlike Asahi, however, we don't have people working full-time on this. Both @StollD and I do this in our free time (of which I haven't had all that much lately), meaning things might take some time to get there. But we are working on it.
