How can this be added? By using the module name "apalis-imx6" as
SOC_FAMILY?

In that case, a COMPATIBLE on module level would be good enough (e.g. as
it is now, just apalis/colibri-imx6 would be the module level).

However, so far customization needs on machine level hasn't really come
up so far. Customers typically use our default machines, and customize
the image by other means...
