The cubieboard_defconfig uses the linux-sunxi kernel v3.0.y, that fails early
during boot on a Cubieboard v1 (final revision).

The boot succeeds after switching to linux-sunxi v3.4.y kernel, as recommended
by this community on its wiki:
http://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_Kernel#Kernel_versions

Change proposal:

BR2_LINUX_KERNEL=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_GIT=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_URL="https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi.git"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_VERSION="9a1cd034181af628d4145202289e1993c1687db6"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION="9a1cd034181af628d4145202289e1993c1687db6"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_PATCH=""

The commit 9a1cd03 is the latest (2014) of the v3.4.y branch.

I did not try the mainline kernel, because it is explicitly stated by Free
Electrons guys that the A10 NAND or multimedia caps are not yet supported.
