Updated patches were sent today (by the same person working on the
manjaro kernel, I think):

  https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-kernel/list/?series=248535

I think the upstreaming for pinebook pro is delayed on the device tree
landing in upstream linux... Peter Robinson sent a patch series that
kind of worked for me, though I didn't yet have a working kernel at the
time to test:

  https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?series=142716&state=*

Combining that with the newer device-tree patches submitted to linux
might be fruitful!


I haven't done any recent tests, largely due to the issue with "guix
pull" being broken on aarch64... might only have limited ability to test
things the next week or so, or might just get a wild hair and go for it.
