Support for the Radxa Dragon Q6A / Qualcomm QCS6490?

Is there a possibility we might see LE running on the Dragon Q6A?

I'm generally reading claims of good upstream support, although the general purpose distros saying nice things are either aiming for sponsorship from Radxa (so are likely to avoid negatives) and are typically less concerned with the small-print details of codecs and media support that good LibreELEC performance needs, so there are probably some caveats.

If what I've read is true, it probably just needs someone with hardware and intermedia buildsystem knowledge to assemble the boot and firmware packages required .. and send us a pull request.

That Radxa Dragon Q6A hardware looks pretty nice. Qualcomm 8 core CPU, Adreno GPU, onboard M2 NVMe (2230) slot, "normal size" HDMI connector... Would be nice to have LE for it in the future. Could be a good alternative for Raspberry.
