Hi,

are you planning to bring up an ICS kernel on the board? The tricky thing 
may be to bring up the GPU driver
on the newer kernel. Alternatively, you can consider to bring up the ICS 
system on the top of the Gingerbread
kernel - I managed to get ICS working on GB kernel.
Also, on ICS the default color model for the screen changed to RGBA8888, 
which your graphics drivers/HAL has to support.
There are some ways to change the color model to RGB565,  but it may create 
some graphics artifacts.

Another area where you may expect some porting task is the porting of the 
multimedia codecs and you
need to consider that ICS is more memory hungry than GB.

Br,

Zoltan
