I don't _think_ any more changes will be needed. Report the change you made and the results you found in a bug asking for IMX8 suport to be enabled in the kernel. I was trying to work out what the right config option was, and I think it's just CONFIG_ARCH_MXC=y (in debian/config/arm64/config
Update: Wookey reported a bug and mentioned via irc that imx8 is missing. I enabled a few settings (see https://deb.li/3fUTV) and I'm convinced that only ARCH_MXC is not enough.
I don't know the plans for an updated kernel in bullseye, but if it helps you (or us :-) I might be able to build the current state for you and provide you a link.
Best regards Uwe
