*all* will never happen with any modern CPU, period. There is simply to
many small things in there.. many of which you don't even know exists
unless you read the non-existing datasheets in detail.. and I don't find
anything in the FSF criterias requiring *all*. The criterias is only
about the included software, it do not require that there is software
for using all theoretically possible features of the hardware.

*all* you market as features of the end-user product sure. And certainly
*all* you include software for.

And cedarx will not be open sourced unless you buy Allwinner and what
other companies may have IP interest in cedarx.
