define supported.

linux-imx is supported by freescale
linux-fslc is from kernel.org

huge

Please, test and taste both, then decide which one is the one for your
application.

(this question is really tricky, by definition, the difference between
2 kernels is defined by the git diff of them, however, the kernel
version in this case differs, causing a huge (huge) gap. I cannot say
to you what are the differences that probably can impact in your case,
so I prefer to say nothing)
