The device tree really needs filled out better, which is what I was
stalling on.  I was having some trouble figuring out some of the
device mappings without schematics, so that would probably be the next
work item.

I was also planning on making it entity-manager enabled;  I'm assuming
the Asrock team is ok with that (as opposed to phosphor-hwmon based)?

I also based it on a UBI image, which isn't very standard;  I'm
guessing we'll want to adjust it to use a more common image layout.
