Please give sunxi-3.4 a shot, and tell us what should be fixed. Because
(correct me Luke if I'm mistaken) if you now manage to get the allwinner
crap working you will sooner or later want to use the sunxi-3.4, because of
the community behind it with the know-how how to fix/improve things. So why
not switch just now?
