AFAICT the mesa version in Fido (10.4.4) already has vc4 support [0]. Although we have been using mesa master so I should test how well 10.4 works. AFAIK Derek picked a specific mesa sha1 that Eric's vc4 DRM driver was known to work. But if there is a meta-raspberrypi/recipes-graphics/mesa/mesa_%.bbappend then we can use a newer mesa in tizen-distro without the need of having patches on top of meta-raspberrypi as we do now. > * kernel: have different name e.g linux-raspberrypi-vc4 > Yes, that seems to be what most people agree on.
