I'm bad at open source licenses, but wouldn't they need to make modifications to the Linux they're running on to be required to distribute their source?

Because they are distributing GPL'd software they also have to at least offer the exact source they used. If they are using an unmodified kernel, giving users a link to a git tag would satisfy this.
In practice, every embedded use of Linux I've seen has included at least some modifications.
No, the whole binary this code was compiled into needs to be GPL licensed in its entirety.
