Personally I don't use the meta-fsl-bsp-release layer as it's not a
community layer, and we cannot contribute back patches and fixes to
it.

The  release layer is the official way Freescale is using to release
its new source code on top of meta-fsl-arm. The supported board list
is limited and is usually available in its release notes. But I don't
believe sabrelite is supported, as it's not a board from Freescale.

I recommend you to use the fsl-community-bsp as is as sabrelite is
properly supported in there by Boundary Devices. You can see a blog
post[1] about how to build an image for Nitrogen6x (which works for
sabrelite board too). Just change "dylan" to "dora", the latest stable
release.

If you need kernel 3.10.17 you can have an early snapshot on
master-next, although it's a work in progress, so far.
