So, I've applied, but I have one comment/concern below.

I am not sure about the usefulness of this
BR2_PACKAGE_FREESCALE_IMX_PLATFORM string, especially for i.MX8
platforms. Indeed, this string is only used by the imx-lib and imx-vpu
packages, and it seems that they are not relevant for i.MX8. So what is
the "reference" to know what is the correct string for i.MX8 platforms
? Does it really make sense to have this option in
package/freescale-imx/Config.in ? Should we have it instead in imx-lib
and imx-vpu instead ?

Thanks!

Thomas
