Is it a custom board? Can you tell something more about it?

I just sent the patch series with imx6 to imx with arch-specific 
subtargets conversion: [1].

I suppose that i.MX 8M based devices should go to 'imx/cortexa53'. 
Please check my 'imx/cortexa7' subtarget creation commit and if you want 
and have time, follow it (you would need some basics like image building 
code and kernel config-default, then you can go step by step, ideally 
testing some initramfs image).
