Likely an issue with a-b-c so I'd check with Brendan and see if there's
anything needed.

I would likely rename it, and even make it generic to all i.MX6 devices as
I suspect the Wandboard, utilite and new CuBoxes will all be very similar.

Yes, it's been randomly discussed that they might be a good start for that
