I'll try it out, but why don't we update the package and the kernel
versions at once. A quick glance at the git repos shows that there's a
3.10.53 version for QMX6, Nitrogen6x and all the Freescale boards.
Then the Wandboard doesn't appear to be maintained as it's still using
a 3.0.x kernel and the riotboard uses mainline kernel.
