True.

Freescale's official kernel is based on 3.0.35 (and oyu are lucky,
i.MX53 is stuck at 2.6.35 ;-( , but community and Linaro's people are
working on mainline (which doesn't have all the drivers the official
kernel has), so depending on the peripherals you need, you could run a
mainline kernel on your i.MX CPU.
