Could you give some details on the use case for having a target package
for the imx_usb_loader ? Are you building a system with Buildroot that
itself is responsible for loading a bootloader over USB to a separate
i.MX6 target ? If not, what is your use case ?

Why do you have this dependency ? If your use case is as explained
above to build a Buildroot system that itself will be responsible for
loading over USB the bootloader of a separate i.MX6 device, then this
system may be running on something else than an ARM platform.

Indentation is wrong for this line, it should be indented with one tab.
I can fix this up when applying once the use case is clearer.

Best regards,
