The short answer is it's a kernel/firmware issue and no.

The long answer is there's a number of parts to supporting this device:
1) Is the firmware upstream for this part, I'm not sure if it's a
Broadcom or Cyprus derived part. We've had issues with the upstream
firmware for these devices being too old, I am working with vendors to
get this resolved.
2) Is the NVRAM available and upstream
3) Is the appropriate DT pieces upstream, does it need a DT overlay to
be supportable being an optional add-on part

At the moment I don't know the answer to the above, I believe it's the
same WiFi as on the Pinebook Pro and for that device it's one of the
bits on my to-do list to investigate.
