I know, we are maintaining i.MX in the mainline and several people at
Pengutronix are working on better MX51 support recently.

If you mean "booting with serial console up to a prompt", without any
graphics or other of the fancy features, then yes, that's easy. We have
that running on the Babage board, on the TX51 and on customer hardware.

However, bringing MX51 to a state like what we have today for example
for MX35 or MX27 will still be a lot of work.
