The suggestion to make Layerscape independent of i.MX makes sense, but
I don't know if it can be safely applied in 6.13-rc.

This proposed change also has the risk of causing regressions.

What if we revert the patch in Subject for now and then someone (maybe
Esben) tries again for a proper fix targeting 6.14?
