As far as I can see nobody has taken this up until now, so I have
slightly reworked Siarhei's original patch:

- changed the numeric pinctrl and gpio values to their symbolic
  equivalents

- changed the include syntax from /include/ to #include to make
  the dts build with current kernels.

I have current u-boot master working on the tablet (booted from
SD card), with console on the LCD, USB-OTG-support and a USB
keyboard.  A defconfig patch for OTG+keyboard support has been
submitted to the u-boot list.

Unfortunately I have not yet had much luck with the kernel.
I try to get Hans de Goede's sunxi-wip branch
(https://github.com/jwrdegoede/linux-sunxi/tree/sunxi-wip) to
work on the Primo81, but I have not yet been able to get any
kernel output on the LCD.  Debugging this is slightly difficult
as I currently lack an SD breakout board, so I have no way to
get a serial console for now.

Siarhei, could you perhaps give Hans' sunxi-wip branch a try on
your Primo81? AFAIK you have a breakout board for it.

Regards,
Karsten
