I guess all the folks using common iMX8 hardware are using Debian derivatives rather than Debian itself, so they didn't think about including iMX8 support in Debian? I can't see anything about it in the freeze policy, but I got the impression from reading a few unblocks that adding hardware support is acceptable during the freeze (and in Debian stable updates). Perhaps talk to the Debian Linux kernel team about it. https://release.debian.org/bullseye/freeze_policy.html -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
