  hmmmmm ... this might be trickier than i thought. as i believe i
mentioned, the tarball i was handed that represented a
several-years-old YP build for this LEC-iMX6 SMARC module on a carrier
board was based on the Zeus YP release. I wanted to drag this into
this decade so I started with a walnascar build for imx6qdlsabresd,
and built a core-image-minimal and that worked fine. (The build was
just for proof of concept, haven't tried to install it.)

  But as I look at this tarball and examine ADLINK's nxp layers, the
support for the lec-imx6-1 target disappears some time ago. It *seems*
that I'll have to steal some of the kernel stuff from back in the
Zeus layer. Yuck.

  My tentative plan is to just go with my current build, try to
install that on the target, then see what works and what doesn't,
since I'll want to use a much newer kernel. Is this the right way to
go about this, given the apparent lack of support for that particular
SMARC module in the newer YP releases?
