I probably should have included some context here anyway, since I guess
a lot of folks aren't familiar with Allwinner/sunxi.

sun7i == A20 processors while A31 is sun6i (yes, this seems somewhat
backwards to me as well), so there is no A31 support present in this
series. As Maxime says sun6i shares some but not all stuff with sun7i
and the bits which aren't still require work (which I believe people are
doing).
