Setup the build folder for a BSP release:
-----------------------------------------
Note: The remaining instructions are for setting up a BSP release only. For setting
up a demo, please see imx-manifest/README-<demo> for further instructions.

$: [MACHINE=<machine>] [DISTRO=fsl-imx-<backend>] source ./fsl-setup-release.sh -b bld-<backend>

<machine> defaults to imx6qsabresd

<backend>   Graphics backend type
xwayland    Wayland with X11 support - default distro
wayland     Wayland
x11         X11  (not supported for mx8)
fb          Framebuffer (not supported for mx8)

Note if the poky community distro is used then build breaks will happen with some
components using our meta-fsl-bsp-release layer.

Examples:
- Setup for XWayland.
$: MACHINE=imx7ulpevk DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland source ./fsl-setup-release.sh -b bld-xwayland

Build an image:
---------------
