Don't know much about meson to be honest but NXP patches indeed only
change configure.ac and not meson_options.txt.

If the switch to meson is happening now, yes I guess the NXP fork will
have to be split.

Also note that any update to the weston-imx version will imply using the
NXP-forked version of wayland-protocols as well [1] :(
