The upstream MTD support in both linux and u-boot has improved greatly recently, in the later case I believe as of 2018.11 it's mostly usable but it's not been investigated in the Fedora context for U-Boot because of time and priorities. From a running Fedora on the MTD there's even less investigation because you basically need to build device specific images on special filesytems. >From a using it for U-Boot point of view it should be quite straight forward to implement and document for Fedora if someone has the time and inclination to do it, happy to provide direction and assist in getting the resulting work into our processes but those that are actively working on Fedora ARM just don't have the time to do it themselves because it provides only a little return of that time investment, there's so much else to do that provides a bigger impact in general and the current way we support those devices works just fine and is uniform across all AllWinner devices so much easier to support.
