Thank you for the reply Otavio.  I had been using the GitHub 
meta-freescale, but I think it has fallen behind.

As an example, meta-fsl-ppc has commit 2e9b383ccaf4 that patches 
qoriq_build_64bit_kernel.bbclass and u-boot-qoriq_2015.01.bb. However, 
neither this commit nor the patched-up files can be found in Github's 
meta-freescale.   Therefore, I went back to using meta-fsl-ppc for 
building Power QorIQ images.

Please let me know if you'll be updating meta-freescale to bring it up 
to date for ppc QorIQ, or let me know if I'm mistaken about this.

Thanks again,

Bob
