Yes, this is very much appreciated as OE uses it to fetch from directly.

Yes, I found that I only needed the SRPM stuff to find the proper
"series" for the large number of patches, in additional to the
individual patches maintained in the GPP at bitshrine.org.

I know have the core stuff fully ported (toolchain, bootloader and
u-boot) to OpenEmbedded, thanks to this.

Also, got the machine to work with an x1 PCIe Intel GbE card.

Very good to see that Freescale is open in their Linux support. Some
more upstream work might be worth the effort; it's too bad if the
patches become obsolete/outdated so quickly.
