Please have a look at this patchset:
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/meta-freescale/2019-January/023633.html

Note that I used master but that should not make a difference.

This likely makes your build go further.
I guess you will then also be stuck at the image wic build step, however
you would get kernel/dtb/rootfs (Which I did not have to time to test on a
board)
