So after a TON of digging that seemed unnecessary, I found that our
u-boot has support for that board. Mainline u-boot has had some form
of support since Jan 2016. If you change the Makefile in
u-boot-bananapim2 to have

BOARD_CONFIG=    Sinovoip_BPI_M3_defconfig

and then run make it should build the right support.

HTH,
