Why do we care about the A9 Fast Model? There are two reasons not
to worry about it: (1) we have A9 hardware easily available (2) the
example model which is labelled as an RTSM_VE A9 isn't actually the
same as the hardware VersatileExpress A9, so it isn't useful for a
"start with known working code and use it to bootstrap to running on
models" path.
Supporting A9 model is not a priority .If A15,A7 models are not stable only then we would have linaro images for A9 model.
