filippz has it working with ubiboot with a serial console.

No. They are using mainline plus a few patches. postmarketOS on N9 is currently configured to build 4.15.rc6, the config file says 4.15-rc5, but when I try to build either manually with the patches, it brings up the interactive config which leads me to believe there is a config mismatch. filippz has it working on 4.16 but hasn't published the patches yet.

I've been trying to boot 4.14 stable with ubiboot on the N950 for Maemo Leste based on the patches used to bring it up on the Droid 4 (display patches are the same). It doesn't help that I don't have a serial cable but I just discovered CONFIG_USB_G_SERIAL so I'm going to see if I can get a serial console that way.
