I've tried to touch this part in
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/meta-freescale/message/24551

Bottom line is: to use linux-fslc as a provider for virtual/kernel -
you need to change IMX_DEFAULT_BSP from "nxp" to "mainline" in the
conf/machine/imx8mmevk.conf, effectively changing from NXP BSP to
Community one.

This would have a lot of consequences though, as the support of mx8m
machines is not quite there yet.
