Clear as mud, chaps :-)

I presume fslc is "mainline", as in git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git

This is what I've use thus far and it seems to work well, except a small
problem with PCIe

What is u-boot i.mx? googling didn't enlighten me.

This comment worries me:

This suggests that u-boot i.imx is using fslc as a dumping ground for
stuff they don't want to maintain, rather than treating it as an
upstream with which to merge patches. I hope this is not the case? The
distinction is subtle, so perhaps I've just misunderstood?

Who is doing the backports? and why is fslc considered "behind" ?
