I would also like to know the usefulness/completeness requirements of
new platforms.

Expecting the latest designs in each area, what is wanted for a first
submission, besides the core stuff required for booting?

 - clocks
 - gpios
 - pinctrl
 - devicetree
 - uarts
 - dma
 - i2c
 - ...

For instance, I'm absolutely not interested in audio, displays and GPUs at
the moment, at least not those equipping this board. So I will not spend
any time to contribute anything of them. Would this be a stopper?

Regards,
Domenico
