Thanks for using KuroBox Pro!
I made the device-tree patch (upstreamed) and get it supported by flash-kernel.
Now Ryan Tandy (in CC) and me are co-maintaining micro-evtd. Latest
update is to support kernel 4.8 (Bug #845559).
It need 10 day to hit stretch/testing.

Since Stretch supports armel, and probably it will get LTS, so armel
device still can be used safely for quite long.
I also started a thread to discuss armel support after Stretch [0][1].
It seems feasible technically.
