[meta-freescale] i.MX 3.10.31-1.1.0_beta release - community feedback requested

[Lauren Post]

Keeping this short to make it easier to read.  Below are my thoughts in responses to the other comments on this thread.

- 3.10.31-1.1.0_Beta is released on top of Daisy 1.6.  Our process is to build and test on top of the last Yocto Project release.  Our GA release will also be based on Daisy because our code freeze for GA is too close to the Yocto Project release for 1.7 to make the upgrade. 

- 3.10.31 is 3.10.17 plus fixes for existing i.mx6 hardware (but there is new graphics update that is not GA quality)

- i.MX6 SoloX is a new hardware which is still beta quality and only supported in 3.10.31 (will not be backported) 

- Soon 3.10.17 and 3.10.31 graphics will be  independent from kernel and would be able to be mixed with each kernel  meaning you could use 3.10.31 kernel with v4 graphics (3.10.17) 

- Eric's point about upgraded proprietary packages is a good one in that our next chance to update them will only be the 3.10.31 GA release so bugs reported earlier help us get these fixed for GA. 

- There is a higher chance of getting bugs fixed NOW for GA then after GA. Please submit bugs via bugzilla and forward me so I can forward to the teams to investigate. 

- Everything for 3.10.31-1.1.0_beta is public on our external git - http://git.freescale.com/ and you can  build using our release layer on top of daisy http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git/tree/README?h=imx-3.10.31-1.1.0_beta  Try it before making a final decision.   Our patches will not be upstreamed until after our field trial concludes this week.
