Well I don't know... Do you mean that the imx driver is not yet available for a recent kernel? 
Is adjusting this driver to work on a recent kernel good enough then / good starting point? Is there no mainline xorg driver available? 
These are my first steps with yocto in general, so I don't really know how much work it would be...
