I've been thinking about this issue. And this provider (for imx6 only)
may make sense to have "fslc" sufix, exactly because it has freescale
+ community patches

However, the other (currently linux-fslc) does not make sense. Maybe
linux-cmt makes more sense today.

I remember one of the arguments to not use only "linux" and use a
prefix was that it's not a pure mainline provider (it clones from
github) and because it leave the "linux" only for internal kernels

Any other suggestion?
