Screen
Screen works partially. While displaying the UI works fine, adjusting the brightness doesn't work.
Battery
sm5703
charger driver is WIP, so the charging is not controlled and there is no charging status reporting.
USB OTG
Another sm5703
charger driver issue. It's currently unable to power up a usb device in mainline. Try a hub with external power supply.
Accelerometer
lis2hh12
accelerometer is not so stable for auto screen rotation, which suggests you to use fixed portrait or landscape mode.
Touch keys
The interrupts/input events are not handled properly and it needs a patched driver. See Tm2-touchkey.
NFC
The PN547 NFC chip uses a pad supply voltage (pvdd), which needs a patched driver.
Touchscreen
The touchscreen is broken without SM5703 MFD driver[1].
FDE
It's not possible to unlock with touchscreen at the meantime, but unlocking with a keyboard connected via USB OTG is possible.
Proximity Sensor
No interrupts received from gp2ap002s00f
sensor.
