Unfortunately there is no way to force the issue, whether by formal source code request or petition signed by 1000000 people.
The cases you quote, lava-something and broadcomm have in common that the requested code is a derivative work covered by GPL.
Nokia has already released the source code for the GPL derivative work of Maemo; namely the kernel of the device.
The parts that still are closed are not covered by GPL.
