At a guess: Upstream everything.
We're doing this for our boards, and the Freescale teams and many others are very active getting all of the kernel drivers upstream. It is possible to run very functional SABRE Lite straight from kernel.org, and this will improve dramatically in the next couple of kernel releases.
