[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] One reason is, if meta-fsl-arm is used, the i.MX targets and Layerscape arm targets are maintained in the same layer, this might confuse users, E.g. LS arm machines are visible to users of i.MX multimedia SDK. Same for PPC targets. i.MX guys, any other reason for the renaming?

[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] I agree to delay the creation of some layers till they are necessary. We should upstream those shared packages into oe-core/meta-oe/meta-virtualization/... upstream layers as much as possible. > > 4) I think we need some more info about the "unifed" layer.

[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] there may be some confusion, meta-freescale is similar as https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-platform, it can make it easy for users to download the required layers of right version for a specific FSL SDK. This layer is SDK specific and only maintained in Freescale git repository.
