So if skip the pre-production boards and wait for final silicon, the board 
claims to support the Arm SBSA standard [0].

For any SBSA compliant board, the following base system devices should 
work out of the box, barring some driver and/or chip bug:

 - Interrupt controller (GICv2 or v3)
 - Timers
 - UART
 - USB2 controller (EHCI)
 - USB3 controller (XHCI)
 - PCIe
 - Watchdog
 - SATA controller

Since the network controller is out of scope for SBSA, you'll have to 
figure out what the LX2160A has and see if we have a driver for it 
already.. I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Cheers,
Jared
