I just added to the image/cortex-a7.mk, and no more dts patching like on 4.4

define Device/sun7i-a20-olinuxino-lime2
   DEVICE_TITLE:=Olimex A20-OLinuXino-LIME2
   DEVICE_PACKAGES:=kmod-ata-core kmod-ata-sunxi kmod-rtc-sunxi kmod-usb-hid
   SUPPORTED_DEVICES:=olimex,a20-olinuxino-lime2
   SUNXI_DTS:=sun7i-a20-olinuxino-lime2
endef

TARGET_DEVICES += sun7i-a20-olinuxino-lime2


and for uboot patch from here

https://github.com/lucize/source/commit/325304c62dd8f6ef1b82b94873397c31226a6f88#diff-1ab1035312dfd60272886d810ef44e7f

I actually own an eMMC version, tried that too, but is the same, for 
eMMC uboot needs this

https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/patch/u-boot/u-boot-sunxi/add-lime2-emmc.patch

I'll try without the split
