speaking about Linaro... Dan (cc'd) from Linaro has started to put
things together, namely:
* the Linaro AOSP builds
* the Linaro kernel 'integration' branch for IFC6410 (the branch Rob
has mentioned here)

and the current status is
* mainlin'ish kernel (3.19)
* boot from eMMC
* framebuffer (HDMI)

overall it should be a good candidate to start with the graphics
pieces since it has all the recent DRM features (atomic modeset and
updates).

I am personnally interested to get AOSP + freedreno support (and
possibly some multimedia as well..), so i can try to help/support, if
time permits..
