Tom,

Thanks for this info! Someone else also mentioned to me that the NXP
'lf' releases are typically once every two years vs the 'imx' releases
which are typically quarterly.

Do you have any feedback on the prefix used in the commit messages
used in both uboot-imx repos such as 'MLK', 'MA', 'LFU', 'LF',
'MMFMWK', 'MGS'? An understanding of those would make it easier for
those of us who are working hard to mainline uboot/linux support.

Best regards,

Tim
