What kind if things would break when setting SOC_FAMILY = "mx6:mx6dl"?
Why wouldn't riotboard be "part of the family"?

I've been using a modified riotboard machine config for some time, in
which I set SOC_FAMILY so that I can run linux-fslc-imx on riotboard.

Also the board seems to get the wrong DEFAULTTUNE unless SOC_FAMILY is
set ("armv7a-neon", should be "cortexa9thf-neon").
