Sorry for the late comment, but the LCDIF chapter in i.MX28 TRM contains
the CRC register too, though I agree that i.MX6SX LCDIF supports overlay
plane while i.MX28 LCDIF doesn't.

Looking at i.MX6SL TRM, I don't find any register to control overlay plane
in LCDIF chapter, so I don't think i.MX6SL LCDIF supports overlay plane
like i.MX6SX LCDIF does.  So, why not make the DT binding allow
"compatible = "fsl,imx6sl-lcdif", "fsl,imx28-lcdif";" instead?

I'm assuming i.MX6SL LCDIF and i.MX6SLL LCDIF are exactly the same.
