I suppose you want to test it using Yocto, so take a look at
wandboard.conf as reference:

https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale-3rdparty/blob/master/conf/machine/wandboard.conf

UBOOT_EXTLINUX = "1"
UBOOT_EXTLINUX_ROOT = "root=PARTUUID=${uuid}"
UBOOT_EXTLINUX_CONSOLE = "console=${console},${baudrate}"

Yocto will then generate and place a extlinux.conf file in the rootfs.

Please make sure you align with the NXP Yocto folks and test booting
via distro boot.
