No, not currently, and certainly won't be in Fedora 24 unless someone
contributes a lot of stuff very quickly.

Why? There's no source (yet) for the new SoC, it's not upstream and
won't be until at least 4.7 (it has to be queued for inclusion by rc4
of the previous release to land in the next release) it supports a
boot process that is nothing like what we currently support for
aarch64 so it would need significant work for aarch64 in Fedora, and
the wifi firmware (looks similar issues that people have with Apple
Mac wifi) isn't currently in linux-firmware so it's not (as far as I'm
aware) currently able to be distributed as part of Fedora.
