[meta-freescale] Is there any point in keeping linux-imx.inc?

You are mistaken, it really isn't the same tree. First the community tree
(fslc) includes patches for other vendors than NXP and therefore supports
more boards.

It also includes all the security updates from the mainline stable 4.1
branch which is why NXP kernel is 4.1.15 whereas the fslc is, as of today,
4.1.35.
http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/linux-imx.git/tree/Makefile?id=rel_imx_4.1.15_2.0.0_ga#n3
https://github.com/Freescale/linux-fslc/blob/4.1-2.0.x-imx/Makefile#L3

Please make a diff of the two trees and you'll see by yourself.

Regards,
Gary
