I'm not sure what the policy on enabling modules for boards that don't
yet have the corresponding device-tree entries, but it would be nice to
have all of the modules mentioned below enabled, so that when
device-tree support is available for HiKey (or other boards) upstream,
the debian kernel packages will "just work". It also makes it easier to
use a user-supplied device-tree without having to recompile the kernel.
