Nowadays, you should just use a mainline linux kernel (with DT)

shifts
the problem to "someone works out the darn DT file", but at least
it's
much better supported
Full hardware support still is not complete. Also I simply do not have the time to redo months of work.
Any time I spend now basically means I get zero money from NLNet as the donations from them are based on *milestone* completion, *not* on "time spent".
4 weeks on OS rework equals ZERO PAYMENT from NLNet for that entire time.
(and there's even an upcoming patch for that
vanilla kernel which can finally lift the write speed limit on SATA
from
50MB/s to 150MB/s or so).
Reason why 3.4.104+ has to be shipped was explained 18 or so months ago.
Indeed. We have a working set of software. After shipping, motivated community members can look at upgrading to mainline. It's still libre software after all :).
Entire OSes need to be redone otherwise.
