For the record, I have both good and bad news:
The good news is that setting hint.uart.1.disabled="1" let it boot.
The bad news is that FreeBSD-11 (I didn't try head) can't see the eMMC
flash. The worse news is that the WiFi adapter is attached to the SDIO.
I've given up and returned it.
If anyone's interested, I've posted dmesg and similar information from
both
FreeBSD-11 and xubuntu 16.04.2 at https://www.rulingia.com/~peter/unisurf/
