Can you explain why you recommend the 5.4 kernel?  I don't see a recipe for
it in meta-freescale.

Can anyone else answer some of my other questions?

1. For i.MX6UL support and functionality, is there a significant difference
between linux-fslc and linux-imx-fslc?
2. For linux-imx-fslc, is there a specific reason it is still using
4.9-1.0.x-imx and not the newer 4.9-2.3.x-imx branch?
3. Is anyone maintaining the 4.9 branch and planning to keep it up to date
with upstream LTS updates?

Thanks,
Jesse
