To run w/o usb, no. It should already be decent on 4.14-rc.
To run with usb, you need this series and:

* the usb3 phy driver sent but (I believe) not yet merged [0]
* A few DT changes enable the whole thing.

The whole thing is available here [1]

However, while you were at KR2017, we found an unrelated, yet very annoying,
issue which may trigger "Synchronous External Aborts" ... The whole story is
available here [2] and the work around patch is available here [3].

If you have downloaded your image from here [4], the kernel is a v4.13 plus
* few changes already merged in next or under review (cec, mmc, usb, ...)
* Overlay support 
* WIP for the hdmi audio.
Sources are here [5]
