[meta-freescale] [meta-fsl-arm]: Wayland/Weston issue with gpu-viv-bin-mx6q 3.5.7-1.0.0-alpha.2

[Post Lauren-RAA013]

3.10.9-1.0.0 graphics is still p12 based which works with 3.0.35-4.1.0.   3.10.9 beta which is not release yet will not without kernel changes.

simple-shm, simple-egl or any of the weston-examples.

We'll be updating the fsl-gpu-sdk in beta to support wayland-weston.

Hi Lauren,

Is it ill-advised to use the gpu-viv-bin-mx6q binaries with the 3.0.35-4.1.0 release? It passed a smoke test with wayland, but I haven't dug in further with X, dfb, fb.

Perhaps we'll only pull in the -wl.so libraries for 4.1.0 for now until 3.10 is non-alpha.

Also, when I tried the vivante samples in a 3.10 master-next build, they seemed to take over the framebuffer. The weston 'simple-egl' client runs in a window without an issue. Can you recommend any other tests from viv_samples, or is this pretty much expected functionality? Just trying to make sure things are working properly in our environment.

Thanks for the clarification.
