Is it not possible to make the GTA04 fully functional, because of
incomplete device-tree infrastructure or because of incomplete
device-tree support in drivers?  Or both?

Also, is the device-tree support that would enable getting the GTA04 to
boot, available in mainline or is it still in some other tree, yet to be
merged?
