Assumin BOM means "Bill of Materials", I still think that the Subject
is not really to the point.  This document describes only the
situation when replacing the iMX6 processor by another model of the
same family, not more.

Actually you write this yourself in the document:

> +This file describes how to support multiple variants of the iMX6 CPU 
> +(i.MX6DQ and i.MX6DLS) in a single U-Boot image.

I think instead of inventing a new name that does not really match
the description, we should just write that, i. e. something like
"Add iMX6 family support README" or "Add iMX6 interchangeability
README" or something like that.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
