You might look at the interrupt balancing that another Pinebook Pro owner has created;

It's for systemd, but could be modified easily for OpenRC.
As for my experiementation with my Pinebook Pro, it's been limited at present. Too much paid work getting in the way of fun :-(.
But, I hope to use Gentoo with ZFS root, and multi-library, (32 bit & 64 bit), userland. And ZFS encryption for root pool.
Thank you. I'll give it a try when I have time.
If you're going to use Gentoo, I would advise throttling the big cores to 1800MHz and switching the small ones to powersave when compiling. Otherwise, even if the DC adapter is plugged it, it will drain current from the battery. The reported consumption was 3.5A, while the adapter only provides 3A. And compile with -j2. Just a hint
Cheers.
