BTW, I'm also unclear on what to do next to better support those
boards: with the default
kernel config only a subset of the hardware is supported, and for
state-of-the-art hw
support we'll also need patches not yet in upstream kernel (from eg.
armbian and libreelec).

I feel it would be good to provide defconfig files for those machines,
but then there are
several options to handle that.  Would a minimal hw-focused defconfig
suitable for
`KCONFIG_MODE = "--allnoconfig"` be a good option ?
