Very encouraging! The CI20 bare-metal stuff is rather educational and it helps 
to explain various things that you can see in other code related to the 
Ingenic SoCs.

It'll be interesting to see whether the jz4775 is close enough to the other 
SoCs for various initialisation things to work straight away with limited 
reconfiguration, perhaps even things like the framebuffer.
