Adding x11 to IMAGE_FEATURES doesn't achieve anything, as x11 isn't an 
IMAGE_FEATURE.  It's a DISTRO_FEATURE.

DISTRO ?= 'fsl-imx-wayland'

https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale-distro/blob/master/conf/distro/fsl-wayland.conf 
says that this explicitly does DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = "x11" so you 
can't add it back.

I suggest you use a DISTRO that supports X11.
