Each ARM board has its own kernel development ... almost ... and then there is mainline kernel where support is very basic. No video drivers for example ... It is more complicated than this, but this explanation should be good enough to understand the problem.
You need to port this driver from that kernel to modern 4.14 kernel and you will have it here. Check if is perhaps already ported to more recent development Raspbian kernels if exists ... in that case, porting should be more simple.
We are just a few people and can't support all possible hardware on this planet - we already struggle with a base onboard hardware, which is easy on RPi since it is a simple machine/toy. If you or somebody port that driver, we will include it in the kernel. It might be a half an hour job or weeks.
It's possible to build a driver on the board ... but. If things break this means there is some incompatibility with between source code, kernel and compiler. This problem is for you to solve.
