It doesn't take all that much imagination to realize why it was one of the first to be included.
A lot of work is being done with the device DTS trees on a relatively new SoC and guess they will come online but likely a rockchip offering rather than pine.
I keep seeing a lot of google / rockchip updates and kernel patches so guess with all the changes Pine has to wait.

Haven't got my board yet but sort of expecting these to all come online.
Would be good to publish the chipset set of the store wifi module as until complete support at least the community will know what does work.

Wiki could do with a bit of work on these areas.

The Rock64 has been included into Linux 4.14 LTS kernel and mainline support should start merging with Pine specific support to create complete support.
Its just very new and we need to wait and see.
