[meta-freescale] couple simple questions about building for i.MX6 targets

  a couple simple questions about using meta-freescale for building
for i.MX6 targets, then a more involved question to follow shortly.

  first, based on current master branch of meta-freescale, just want
to confirm that building for any of i.MX6QP/Q/DL represents a MACHINE
selection of "imx6qdlsabresd", at which point i get a single
compatible kernel and need only select the appropriate .dtb file to be
used, correct? (pretty sure this is the case, i just don't want there
to be any doubt.)

  also, i just did such a build on my fedora 26 system, and i notice
that the kernel-source unloaded for this build was kernel version
4.1.44:

  VERSION = 4
  PATCHLEVEL = 1
  SUBLEVEL = 44
  EXTRAVERSION =
  NAME = Series 4800

but in meta-freescale's collection of kernel recipes, i see no
explicit reference to that particular kernel version. i do see a
recipe file "linux-imx_4.1.15.bb" -- where in the hierarchy of config
and recipe files does this build settle on the 4.1.44 kernel version?
thanks.
