[Bug 1838064] Re: [FFe] Support Nitrogen6x board

[Łukasz Zemczak]

** Description changed:

  [Impact] The existing u-boot package doesn't build the binary u-boot-imx
  for Nitrogen6x 2G version.
  
  [Regression Potential] None. The patches add config changes for a new target (nitrogen6x2g) to generate u-boot-imx.
  The changes are tested on the Nitrogen6x board.
+ 
+ [Feature Freeze Exception]
+ Even though the required u-boot changes for Nitrogen6x support do not introduce any behavior change in existing packages per-se, the changes do enable a new, not-built previously target by default. All the Ubuntu-specific changes do not affect any existing users, since the nitrogen6q2g target was never officially built for both Ubuntu and Debian.
+ To reach as many users as possible and become a well-known distribution for IoT and embedded devices, it is important to support as many different devices as possible. Which is why I would like to request a Feature Freeze exception for any hardware-enablement work required for adding Nitrogen6x support.
