I've forked and updated the packaging at:
https://salsa.debian.org/ah/mfgtools

The relevant commit (apart from `gbp import-orig --uscan`) is
https://salsa.debian.org/ah/mfgtools/-/commit/a7a75a60f5e0e923ef1deb1b08469d0a9553a8ed
(and then updating debian/changelog ofcourse).

It build, installs and runs basic commands fine, but I haven to yet
tested it against an actual imx target.

If there's a lack of people interested in maintaing uuu/mfgtools I'd be
willing to help out. I don't have any particular interest in the Debian
on Mobile effort (right now), apart from uuu/mfgtools, though.
Would you be willing to give me access or consider if maybe it's
better if mfgtools repo live under the "debian" group on salsa?

I don't like leaving git repos out of sync, so if I'm given commit
access I'd also be willing to upload to experimental.
I could even consider adding myself to Uploaders as I am a semi-regular
user of uuu and would like to see it be kept up to date.

Please advice on what you think is appropriate.
(I'm @ah on salsa).

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson

PS. my personal preference is to include full upstream commit history in
the upstream branch, if you're also open to making that change in the
repo please tell me.
