Farwest Rotors Falcon

I just noticed this post about a Revolution clone called the Farwest Rotors Falcon
https://forum.librepilot.org/index.php?topic=934.msg6798#msg6798
It apparently uses the Invensense MPU-9250, and runs the SPI bus at 20 MHz. They also claim that it's compatible with LibrePilot 15.09. How well is it supported by LP? Is there a custom board definition in the firmware that recognizes it as a Falcon board? If not, then it seems like one would need to re-compile the firmware with the MPU-9250 driver selected in the header files.
Has anyone used this or any other hardware with LP that has the MPU-9250?

I have one. It's essentially an OP Nano Revo on a standard size board. LP sees it as a Nano, works fine. Kind of expensive now that there are so many clones. Also, as with Nano, no 433 radio. Which I kind of miss.

Thanks ggrif
I should have dug deeper before posting... now I see that the Revo Nano uses the MPU-9250, and the Falcon board just acts like a Revo Nano in LP. It all makes sense now.
