Well.. the AXP power management is really separate from USB port
function, so might actually work. But you probably need to wait for A20
support to merge into sunxi-3.4 tree which I hope is only days away,
people are working hard on that right now, but held up by.. guess what..
USB driver issues.

As mentioned earlier Fedora 19 is also available for A20 and basically
only needs a proper script.bin for the EOMA68-A20.

I think dirst prio is to compose a proper set of fex files for different
EOMA68-A20 uses + clear instructions on how to use the shipped Android
to replace the NAND u-boot with one that can boot from the uSD slot of
EOMA68-A20.

I got my EOMA68-A20 board today btw.

Right.. should also write up a document on how to disassemble the PCMCIA
casing safely so one can reach the USB-BOOT "jumper" for those who needs
it.
