Nokia´s Contribution to the Linux Kernel

Lately there has been a lot of talk about commercial contributions to the Linux kernel, specifically from distribution vendors.
At the Linux Plumbers Conference in Portland, Oregon, Greg Kroah-Hartman of Linux kernel fame recently took a swipe, specifically at Canonical (blog post - google video). Now this may (or may not) come as a shock to you but the most popular Linux distribution (number 1 at distrowatch for many a moon) doesn't seem to 'give back'. In retaliation people have come out to defend Ubuntu but this got me thinking, where does Maemo and Nokia stand with regards to Linux kernel contributions?
