And thanks to you for reviewing!

We normally want all packages to be directly under package/, precisely
because it is easier to find them this way.

The only case where we accept to have sub-directories for groups of
packages is when several packages need to share some variables, like
package/qt5/qt5.mk.

For freescale-imx stuff, it seems like the only variable left shared by
various packages in FREESCALE_IMX_SITE, and in fact it's already used
outside of package/freescale-imx/.

So I would almost suggest to get rid of the sub-directory, and move
this variable, as well as the other macro defined in freescale-imx.mk
to another file, though I'm not sure which one.

Peter?

Thomas
