So, sorry for being a bit thick headed, it just dawned on me what our priorities have to be and why:
- Hack together some tests under 3.4.104 that we can run on the extant
drivers. 2. Work on getting extant A20 drivers mainlined in the linux kernel.
In case you haven't seen it (although you probably have), Paul Kocialkowski is working on a mainline driver for the video encode/decode unit in allwinner SoCs:

great! we like paul.
- Create devicetree for DS113 v2.7.4 and v2.7.5, … (all extant versions
of DS113 and microdesktop case). 4. Work on getting devicetree with add/remove overlay support mainlined in the linux kernel (and u-boot?).
BTW, the GPIO nexus patch by Stephen Boyd was merged for 4.17:

thx jonathan.
