AFAIK It depends on phone/tablet manufacturer, since the build system
is not GPL.
Generally, you can try to setup it by yourself:
1. Take one of the available builds for other MTK chipset based phones [1].
2. Download source code which was provided by Lenovo [2].
3. Built new kernel with platform config from Lenovo's package [3]
