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

[Ernst Sjöstrand]

Hi,

right, fslc has many extra branches. But everything in linux-imx from
freescale.com is in fslc also!

git.freescale.com is only used for linux-imx_4.1.15 which uses
b63f3f52cb393e3287352cf63f0caef31a33ab63 and that is also available in
github.com/Freescale/linux-fslc.
So you have everything at GitHub already, you could simplify things and
only reference a single repository instead.

Regards
//Ernst

(Also, note:
The 4.1-2.0.x-imx branch on Github vs. freescale.com differ very little,
there's the security merge (which everyone should use?!?!) and 29 commits
which only deal with a few things, so I really don't see any point in
having both available.
Here's the list that differ:
