Glad to help.  Thanks for all your work on these packages.

We don't use this (yet), so I didn't want to update it without testing it.

We also don't use this (no NAND on the board).  As above, I didn't want to update without testing.

I can certainly update these versions and confirm that they build, if someone else can test.

Tested on a custom i.MX6Q board.  I used the freescale_imx6qsabresd defconfig, but with a different kernel and toolchain.

We are in the process of updating to the latest 4.1.15 kernel release.  I will update the gpu packages to p8.4 after that and resubmit.
