This does make my touch screen work, thanks.  My camera module (OV5640 based) does
not work though, but I've not researched it much yet.

A couple of comments:
* Could you put the changes under mx6q instead of imx6qsabrelite, much like the other
   files/changes that are present?  I ask because I have a derivative platform which has
   a different name (just sabrelite - I got tired of mistyping imx6qsabrelite) and the
   patch was not applied until I moved it about.
* More changes are necessary to make this useful for the target "out of the box", in particular:
   - U-Boot needs to pass additional command line parameters to make the LCD panel work properly
   - I use the micro-SD slot as does the BoundaryDevices setup, but U-Boot only wants to boot
     from the full size SD card
   - The touch screen needs some additional files/tuning for X to work correctly (the X axis
     is backwards, etc)
   - I'll investigate the camera soon (not top on my list yet)
   - The recent changes, in particular xf86-video-imxfb-vivante, do not build under Yocto/master
     which has moved to Xorg server version 1.13.
   - Why is GCC not tuned for the Cortex-A9 (currently armv7a is used)?  I rebuilt using
         DEFAULTTUNE = "cortexa9hf-neon"
     which works fine and is more in line with other Cortex-A9 platforms, e.g. PandaBoard.

I'll see about proposing patches for all of these soon

Thanks
