So it's not reasonable to use yocto-bsp and include meta-fsl-arm/conf/machine/include/imx-base.inc or it that sane?
/me has some difficulties identifying components.

Not at all - clarifying was the intension of asking ;)

I received patches from the board manufacturer against 2009.08 and they don't apply cleanly to 2013.04.
While I do not expect that I can re-apply the kernel patch to a newer kernel (entire arch/arm/mach-mx6 directory is missing on 3.10.17), chances might be better to port u-boot patch.

Ok, will do. I already have checked out the repository fsl-community-bsp-base at sources/base.
So I need something else?

Ok :)

I have access to a board based on a sabre board, but I don't get
information on which :(
It's a bit pita ...

Sounds easy, but I expect catching all pitfalls on the way ;)
Thanks so far.
