[meta-xilinx] [meta-xilinx-bsp][RFC] kernel-module-mali: Fix errors associated with kernel upgrade to 4.19

[Jean-Francois Dagenais]

Hi Manju, guys,

I need to move up to 4.19 early for the kernel. I just tried this patchset (only after having made my own... I had forgotten about yours here).

I am aligned with 2018.3, using meta-xilinx-tools, but am not using meta-petalinux. We have our own kernel recipe which
inherit kernel
require recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto.inc

So using either my patches on kernel-module-mali, or yours, I get this:
