Hrm... the imx series is placing all header files in
arch/arm/plat-mxc/include/plat
instead of within each mach-*. Most other sub-arch doesn't behave like that at
this moment and getting them built together ain't easy.

BTW, did you get it tested on different boards, I'd be interested to see what
could be the potential issues at run-time.
