I just gave that image a try and after a while staring at a console with no
activity I noticed that it's the JeOS with jeos-firstboot, so I had to remove
"console=tty" to actually see anything. Using the HDMI console won't really
work without USB support.

Also, chrony-wait should be disabled, it delays booting by 10min as no
network is currently working.

What doesn't work:
- USB (expected), but the OTG port seems to be available. It's forced to host
  mode by the kernel though as gadget support is not enabled
- WiFi: brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_htclk: HT Avail timeout (1000000): clkctl 0x50
  I see that you force-disabled WiFi stuff in JeOS.kiwi, I had to copy over the
  firmware manually
- Ethernet: Gets detected just fine, but when actually sending packets the
  kernel freezes (sometimes with
  NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (bcmgenet): transmit queue 1 timed out)
- Sometimes the UART (clock?) glitches and there's garbled text

What does work:
- u-boot, grub, kernel, sd card, serial
- I/O activity LED :D
- cpufreq: Speed of "bc" corresponds roughly to CPU frequency

So very nice progress already!

I'll try to build a kernel with dwc2 peripheral support, maybe that's enough.
Probably not though, considering it's USB-C...

Cheers,
Fabian
