Good to know I am not the only one that has made this mistake :)

My plan now is to start with John's 4.14 mediatek support when
available and getting my board up with OpenWRT, then sending an RFC
with the DTS to the list. Once all of that is ready, I will look into
how I can partition the eMMC on my board so that I can install a
"normal" rootfs and make the board work with the mainline kernel. I am
sure I will have lots of questions, so this is probably not my last
email :)

BR,
