I do have some patches against meta-fsl-arm-extra to add support for
etna-viv. I can clean those up a bit and send them out, although they need
a lot of work to play nicely with the proprietary packages.

Andy had mentioned that conversation. We are currently working on a plan
for Vybrid. Once the higher-ups come to an agreement, we'll get that
implemented and moving forward. I'll keep you posted on any updates. Is
there anything in particular that is blocking development on your side? If
so, I can prioritize that internally.

Understood. I'm working with Advantech to get those details ironed out, but
I needed to make sure this approach was viable. It sounds like it is.
