On branch sunxi, the target for A23 is 'Ippo_q8h_config'.
Note that this is for the q8h tablet I'm using, but since
we don't have SPL support, it's fine to use it for any A23
device, as long as you're using the R_UART pads. If not,
you'll need to modify boards.cfg and replace "CONS_INDEX=5"
with "UART0_PORT_F" to use uart0 which is muxed with mmc0.

U-boot support for A23 is minimal at this time.

For the Linux Kernel, sunxi_defconfig should work fine, though
you will need to tweak or create your own device tree file.

I strongly recommend going through the whole process. At the least
you will get to know your device. And since not all boards are the
same, you will get the details you need to tweak the device tree file.
