I sent out a big devicetree rework for the board to the kernel list (see
[1]) and it got applied, so I assume it will be part of Linux 6.1.

Based on this I also created patches that among other things sync the
U-Boot devicetrees for the Kontron SL/BL i.MX6UL/ULL boards with the
upcoming changes in Linux (see [2]).
