Hi Andreas,

I will send a v2 series soon, that will include something very similar to your 
suggestion for the overlay parameter.

I played around with vc4 to but did not manage to get it work for an elder 
version 4.1 of kernel.

I did in rpi-config:

CMA_SIZE = "cma-256"
CMA_SIZE_raspberrypi = "cma-64"
CMA_SIZE_raspberrypi0 = "cma-128"
...
echo "dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-overlay,${CMA_SIZE}"
>>${DEPLOYDIR}/bcm2835-bootfiles/config.txt

This is nothing but an untested suggestion.

Without testing your series I would be very happy to see this or very similar 
applied in master: Since vc4 works, RaspberryPi turned into my reference test 
board - e.g. have not seen kde5 running that nice on another board..

Andreas
