You've hit on something.
The mainline kernel has plenty of support in it for the Pine64 and A64's chips.
That last point is precisely why I never finished a new image. Non BSP Kernel means mainline U-Boot.
U-Boot isn't exactly user friendly to setup on the Pine64.
That's the last step I had to do, it was to prep a new microSD card with the proper images on it. Configuring U-Boot and making those boot images was the last step, and I stopped there.
Being a side hobby at best in a busy life, I ran out of time for this project and put it on pause. I was only able to get that far.
In a month or two, I plan on carving out a few hours for this again for an update again to try again!
