It depends if Onyx is willing to share OSS sources for these devices (kernel patches, uboot, etc), see GPL Issues. Please mind that this project vastly depends on sources available. In the case of M92 I achieved it because I managed to put my hands on resources which Onyx took down later on and Freescale iMX508 development kit documentation (still available somewhere on their site and discussion groups).

Since M96 / 86 / Max devices are based on imx6 I think it is doable. But still, it would require a lot of research (whether there is a possibility to enter fastboot/download/recovery mode, how updates are handled, etc.).

Another thing is that I do not own any of these devices.

Also, If I were to continue development and possibly extend it to other devices, I would use Yocto for such:
