I think we could do it in different order. Include their BSP support (as is) in meta-fsl-arm-extra and work in U-Boot mainline to add support for it and than move it to U-Boot mainline.

Here you should sent a series of patch to add support in Yocto; in U-Boot mainline mailing list you should send a series of patch to add support in U-Boot mainline. Please read the README about how to send patches. Regards, -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
