at least gpu (AMD/FSL proprietary) & iirc video codecs (not all proprietary
but far from mainline unless I missed something). In fact in the end these
boards were using Freescale's kernel.

I confirm that's a good target for removal as our i.MX51 customers are
actually using cpuimx51sd (actually without 3D & codecs actually but not
everyone need these peripherals in industrial applications). Moreover, if all
the drivers are mainlined we will be able to use dt if we want to upgrade
cpuimx51.
Thanks,
Eric
