Great, mainline works correctly on all Exynos based Chromebooks.

I wrote a little blog post explaining how to run mainline on these boards:

http://blogs.s-osg.org/install-linux-mainline-kernel-distro-exynos-chromebooks/

That explains the simplest setup though so if you need a different one
(i.e: chain loading a non verified u-boot) or if you have any questions,
feel free to contact me in private and I can help you with the setup.

That fixes the recursive dependency issue indeed. Thanks.
