Update meta-browser layer in nxp-imx for iMX8M family

[vix]

I see the manifest files used to build i.MX BSP releases from NXP.

Even the newest /imx-linux-mickledore/imx-6.1.36-2.1.0.xml tag refers to an old release of chromium

<remote name="ossystems" fetch="https://github.com/OSSystems"/>

...

<project name="meta-browser" path="sources/meta-browser" remote="ossystems" revision="e232c2e21b96dc092d9af8bea4b3a528e7a46dd6"/>

this is a commit of May 2022 and it includes chromium 101.0.4951.54

At the moment of writing this message,

https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-browser

has been updated to chromium 120.0.6099.224

with a lot of patches, improvements, bug fixes, ...

From my perspective it's urgent that after two years, NXP updates its manifest to use a newer release of chromium.

The release 101.0.4951.54 has a lot of bugs with the GPU especially on iMX8M-Plus.

Hi @vix!
Thank you for contacting NXP Support!

We are working to give to our customers stable versions of our BSP.

Sorry for the mistake!

Best Regards!

Hi @Chavira 

I understand the meaning of what you wrote, but I don't uderstand how it's related to my question.

I would not define "unstable" a meta-layer that is around for more than two years (like meta-browser).

And you wrote about a "stable" BSP.

Do you mean that an updated release of the meta-layer is coming?

Do you know when?
