 It's a USB SATA bridge so it should work.

 Image from HEAD works but the DTS aren't here. We need to import the DTS from Linux 4.7 (andrew@ imported them into the vendor branch so it's been worked on).
 In the meantime you could use my tree (https://github.com/evadot/freebsd/tree/linux-4.7-dts) which have a raw import of the DTS files.
 A uboot port exist for the OrangePi One and one can be easily created for the OrangePi Plus.
