The hardware is veryron-speedy (a.k.a. asus chromebook c201p), with a
rockchip rk3288 CPU and 4GB of ram; I might be able to test on
additional hardware at some point (I've got a pretty old guix install on
a novena, but don't recall if it was in good working order last time it
booted).

linux-libre-arm-generic@5.4 5.4.57, and presumably older versions as
well, as I had commits in my local guix from mid June disabling iwd on
network-manager.

I've had issues booting linux-libre 5.6+ on this hardware, and struggled
to get the right initrd modules to use the regular "linux-libre"
variant, though in theory that should also be possible, but might
require additional kernel config options, and I'd like to postpone
exploring those rabbit holes for the moment...
