Hi Marcin,

after a short look into the architecture, the board is supported by
the linux kernel, but hasn't yet migrated to devicetree, but the cpu
is supported by devicetree.
The cpu is an arm926ej, this would result in a new platform,
because our still supported omap platform use a different architecture:

omap24xx -> arm1136j-s
omap -> cortex-9

So yes, it's possible to add it, but you have to create a new platform
and it also needs a maintainer, who take care of the platform for the
long run.

Best,
lynxis
