Do you have plans to support H6 chip?

Long story short. H6 comes with kernel 3.10.y which is EOL for some time. Next, Allwinner uses proprietary way of building a kernel, image and this is a changing target. This needs to be cleaned, standardised ... it's a lot of work and since we are talking about a kernel which is already dead, a waste of time. We are anyway too small and can't afford such extreme rework/hacking on our own. If there will be progress on this old kernel within the community, we might join and do some part.
We are focused toward mainline kernel ... which (basics) might be available for this chip by the end of the year. Perhaps. Perhaps even sooner. Hard to say from today's perspective.
