Notes:
[pfefferz, 2012/1/29]: Need to complete: https:/
[pfefferz, 6th January 2012]: May not be able to do this work at all because we may not get any more iMX53 drops.
[botao, 5th December 2011]: Got feedback from Eric Miao who is the technical leader of Freescale landing team. See below:
#######
<ericm> botao_sun, current LT kernel for Freescale i.MX5 doesn't support device tree, but planned LT kernel for i.MX6 we will support DT from start
<ericm> botao_sun, DT for imx5 will have to wait til next cycle
<botao_sun> ericm: Understood. By the way, what's the iMX6? A new hardware?
<ericm> botao_sun, a new SoC
