Hi,
I'm about to start the porting of U-Boot on a custom board based on iMX6 (close to SabreSD).
My questions are:
1) should I use device tree or use the "old" way (cloning directory and make modifications)?
2) How is the status of CONFIG_OF_CONTROL on u-boot in general (and in particular on iMX6)?

Thank you
Regards
Luca

For now, it's better to use the board file way. We are currently not at the point to provide a dts to fully describe the hardware in U-boot for imx.
