In terms of adapting existing tech, several phones [1] did use a VideoCore 4, the most recent being the BCM23550, an SoC similar to the chip used in the Raspberry Pi 2.
Using one of these 2013 era smartphones might be an alternative starting point in porting raspbian. You'd still have binary blobs for other components, naturally.
(Yeah I understand the thrill here of building a working phone with your bare hands but if the idea were to crowdfund a smartphone product leveraging the rPI community and Broadcom then I'd start with a working base)
