[meta-freescale] Status of i.MX8 support

[Teemu K]

Hi,

What is the state of the meta-freescale i.MX8 support? I'm trying to
compile image for NXP i.MX8 development board (MCIMX8QXP - CPU).

I'm using thud - branch of everything, but while compiling and using
kernel linux-imx_4.9.123 (that's the only one with i.MX8 support as
far as I can tell based on recipes) the kernel fails to build
properly. I think it's more of the kernel modules that create some
bitbake related errors.

I cut that some and there are more of similar errors coming. If I
remove those modules from kernel I'll get error on some other module.

Just wondering if that should work? I know it's quite new and may have
some problems so if it's known not to work then I guess I'll do
something else.
