[meta-freescale] wayland enabled gpu-viv

[Ahsan, Noor]

So you have modified same gpu-viv recipe that is available in meta-fal-arm or created the new one. I am interested to know couple of things here. First is why gpu-viv recipe is removing wayland specific things. See following

    # FIXME: Remove Wayland contents
    rm -r ${D}${includedir}/wayland-viv
    find ${D}${libdir} -name '*-wl.so' -exec rm '{}' ';'
    rm ${D}${libdir}/*wayland*.so*

so it looks that we can't add wayland stuff in the same recipe or I am interpreting something wrong here. Can't we add wayland stuff in the same recipe just like we have other stuff for x11 and directfb. Secondly I see gpu-viv-bin-mx6q-3.0.035-4.0.0.bin and gpu-viv-wl-bin-mx6q-3.0.35-4.0.0.bin at http://download.ossystems.com.br/bsp/freescale/source/. I compared both bin file contents are same so why we have separated it out.

I'm currently overloaded with my imx6-vpu work, but in general I would be interested in this as well.

What's already there:
 - The drivers releases already include the wayland part
 - If one enables wayland as DISTRO_FEATURE and/or installs it, the protocol part is also done.

What's missing:
 - within the gpu recipe:
   the same code existing for x, fb and dfb needs to be added for wayland.
 - this will include:
   pkgconfig files: wayland-egl.pc  (which is likely to be a copy of egl.pc)  ... most likely more then that but I can't recall what else is missing.


So far I've only done this 'manually' by fiddling around with the sysroot and rootfs ... I hadn't had the time to test a proper recipe way of creating everything.
Anyway If you need help, let me know.
