It looks like usb is not going to work right because the A13 has a specific usb
controller that is not in the vanilla kernel tree.
Maybe it will work by applying some patches ... but the linux-sunxi team is
working only on 3.0 amd 3.4 kernels. I doubt that the patches will apply
trouble free to 3.10 kernel.
I'm kindof stuck :-(
