The binary kernel modules are a mess. Not  only  they  are  a  pretty
clear  GPL license violation (and I wonder what Freescale is going to
do to sort this out), but it effectively always locks you down to the
specific LTIB kernel version (and probably even to  a  specific  DTS)
they were built against. Open source? Forget it.

Best regards,
