I don't want to discourage anyone from doing this. My problem is that
I'm not in a position to spend any time on support. The techies can
figure it out, (and many have), and I think to myself if someone is
savvy enough to install a base Fedora image, install a third party repo
and install the packages without any documentation or support.... well,
they are not going to need any on-going support.... 

Having said that, I do have a bash script, that kind of automates it
all. You install a base Fedora image, run the script and it does the
rest for you. Hasn't been tested since Feb this year, but it was tested
and working for Wandboard and BananaPi. I'll need to think again about
releasing this. I have so many other commitments right now, that I worry
about providing any support at all......

PS. Soundcheck.... I feel your pain, especially if you knew your way
around the fex file. As you have found out, moving to device tree is a
complete new ball game, before you discover the lack of drivers that you
took for granted with the sunxi 3.4 kernels. Anyway, as you may or may
not know, all the pieces necessary to get audio (dma driver, onboard SoC
codec, spdif and I2S) working with the upstream kernel and device tree
do kind of exist. Most of the hold-up has been getting the dma driver
(cyclic dma transfers reqd for audio) into upstream kernel, I think.
(This A20 dma driver was written by a chap called Emilio López as part
of Google Summer of Code, 2 cycles ago I believe, but never got accepted
upstream despite several attempts.) I cannot hand hold you at all, but
assuming you can check-out from git, sort out your config options and
build.... The codekipper https://github.com/codekipper/linux-sunxi
audio-mainlining branch is where you start. He is actually working on
getting all the sunxi A20 audio components into a state where they can
be upstreamed. Have a look at the most recent commits. Definitely looks
like it is being actively worked on to me.....
