I think we need to consider some things here:

 linux-fslc is a kernel tree we maintain
 u-boot-fslc is a u-boot tree we maintain

both have same goals and the idea is to provide a place to share
patches and backports.

The motivation to make the 3.14 is because FSL is not taking the fixes
and security updates from stable, so a place to merge those seems to
be beneficial. I don't want a plethora of names as it makes harder for
people to contribute and share work so I propose two solutions:

 linux-fslc_4.0.bb
 linux-fslc-mx6_3.14-1.0.x.bb

or

 linux-fslc_4.0.bb
 linux-fslc_3.14-1.0.x-mx6.bb

Both works.
