I actually worked pretty hard to make the imx6 stuff work with the linux
dts without a lot of our own extra properties thrown in.  I'm not sure
it's 100% there.

I need to get ublr working reliably with my wandboards, and then it's
possible we could have a single unified imx6 kernel that worked for all
imx6 boards.  When I last tried ubldr it would sometimes launch the
kernel just fine and sometimes just mysteriously hang.
