Well, you're only looking at boards that have a defconfig in Buildroot.
But I'm pretty sure there are lots of people using Buildroot on custom
i.MX6 boards, which may not necessarily be supported by all kernel
versions.

That being said, the jump from 3.10.17 to 3.10.53 is probably
relatively easy, so people having such custom i.MX6 boards could just
as well do the jump.

So, I'd indeed suggest to move all i.MX6 defconfigs in Buildroot to
3.10.53, and update the GPU drivers accordingly.

Best regards,

Thomas
