  Hi Changming,

  I finally started picking up this series after two years. Unfortunately, I 
have a lot of requests for changes still.

  We try to avoid subdirectories in package/; we only add them in case there is 
some common functionality that needs to be factored out, like for e.g. qt5.

  In this series, the only commonality that I found is the binary extraction, 
but it ends up to be used only by qoriq-cadence-dp-firmware. That's not worth it 
IMHO.

  Therefore, I marked this patch and rejected.

  Note that it would make sense to do this if we would also move the 
freescale-imx stuff into the same directory (freescale is anyway nxp now so it 
should be OK to do that).

  The .mk file should have the same name as the directory, so nxp.mk.
