Shawn is no longer interested in maintaining i.MX platform, and would like
to step down.  On the other hand, Frank seems to be the best successor
for this role.

 - He has been one of the most outstanding contributors to i.MX platform
   in the recent years.

 - He has been actively working as a co-maintainer reviewing i.MX
   patches and keep the platform support in good shape.

 - He works for NXP and could be the bridge and coordinator between
   NXP internal developers and community contributors.

Thanks, Shawn, for your great work maintaining i.MX platform support. I’ve
learned a lot from you, and I’m happy to continue maintaining the i.MX
platform.
