Hi Shawn,

We've talked about it before, but I don't remember the outcome. Can you
explain (and add to the above text) a short explanation of why this is
in the mach-imx directory, rather than the mach-mx5 (which probably is
closer to mx6 than mx3 is) or a new mach-mx6?

As Uwe mentioned, our long term view on imx sub-architecture is to move
mach-mx5 into mach-imx, so that we can have single mach folder for imx,
though whether we eventually move plat-mxc into mach-imx or not is
another thing we can think about later.

I will add something about that in the cover letter with the next post.
