I have my device running with feature support as indicated. GPU crash is pretty consistently hanging the device, so I limit GPU usage by running sxmo. Considering maybe removing GPU from device-tree until the kernel is fixed.

Currently it's booting from SD card by extlinux with U-Boot, but I can probably get bootimg working with a bit of effort. It didn't work the first time I tried and I didn't look into it further since I already had U-Boot working.

Finishing up the PRs to get it into pmaports properly, links in the doobly-doo.
