As I've mentioned previously once the MMC support lands upstream we
should be able to support the basics in Fedora. There's already the
core SoC support and ethernet support, once we have MMC we can get a
platform that can be supported via serial console at least. Until we
have some form of storage medium supported it would be a hacked up
boot over the network using uboot we'd need to do which isn't
supportable.
