I've had a number of reports it works just fine. I don't have a device
based on the same chipset to be able to confirm this though.

The Fedora kernel should work just fine so I have no idea why you
would even do anything you've attempted above.

The only thing you should have to do is deal with the U-Boot side of
things, I believe that there's a need for a signed binary blob for the
early part of u-boot and you can use that in combination with the
Fedora build u-boot bit to boot the device but I've not got the exact
details. You shouldn't have to modify the kernel except possibly if
you want accelerated graphics but given you mention the Server image I
suspect that's not the case.
