I know I'm the one who pushed for that commit to happen but now want to
mitigate the claim above.

True uuu depends on imx-uuc and mfgtools (1st of its name) too. BUT by
looking at imx-uuc, the two use cases are separated into 2 different
files:
- uu.c: daemon that uses utp protocol to communicate with host
- ufb.c: daemon that uses fastboot protocol to communicate with host

So I think it should be safe to have both host clients co-existing for
now. Maybe uu.c will be removed at some point in the future but I guess
NXP will leave it there for a while.

Regards,
Gary
