In general from my experience: yes, very well.
In detail: we are using the external memory interface with some SRAM like
device on an at91sam9g20 based board with special timings and I remember DT
didn't support that fully until 4.12 IIRC, so depending on your hardware maybe
you might need some tweaks on the DT side, but that should all be straight
forward.
Maybe use some newer LTS kernel like 4.9 or 4.14?

AFAIK i.MX6 is also well supported in mainline, so I would also opt for using
a recent vanilla kernel for both boards.
