Same as for any device:
Get support for the device into Linux mainline.
Wait for Debian to contain that version of the linux source package.
Ask the Debian Linux kernel team to add a linux-image-* package for
the device (or just use the arm device-tree based multiplatform kernel
once it exists).
Get the device-tree stuff for the device into Debian. No idea how this
is going to work, I guess they will be shipped with the linux source
package?
Get a bootloader for the device into Debian. If this is u-boot, a
prerequisite for this is to get support into upstream.
Get any needed firmware blobs into firmware-nonfree (and upstream for it).
Get any userland drivers merged upstream and or included in Debian.
Get support for it into the Debian installer.
Package whatever things you want to run on it. For games, join the
Debian games team:
