Russell has been working a lot on the cubox-i and in particular HDMI
support, last I looked he had a series of 35+ patches that should be
headed for 3.15.

There's been a lot of i.MX6 stuff land upstream over the last 3-4
kernels, it's improving rapidly.

So everything regard quirks should be going via a dts file for imx6
these days and then any driver changes to support the device. I
strongly suspect a dts will be enough to get you booting to a serial
console with sata/mmc/network/usb etc which is the state of most imx6
devices such as the wandboard at the moment.

Out side of that I noticed there's a non upstreamed sound and codec
driver but it looks like its under active review so I suspect that's
not far away. Assuming Russell's HDMI patchset land in 3.15 (and we're
all hoping for that for wandboard/cubox/utilite too) I personally
don't believe we'll need much else to make it mostly work well. EG
cubox-i just worked first time without any tweaks needed at all :-)
