The point is not to block this feature, but, as you are starting with a
new SOC (i.MX7), to think about how to better support this new
processor. We get a while to have SPL support for i.MX6, and the same
benefits we can have from the beginning with i.MX7.

Of course, this will be done - anyway, what I and Fabio try to point out
is to give i.MX7 a chance to be supported as well as i.MX6 is.
