Dear Spenser Gilliland,

Great to see the beginning of the work on Allwinner devices!

I'd make this a little bit more explicit:

	  Program to change the display mode on Allwinner ARM SOCs
	  running the linux-sunxi kernel (and not the mainline kernel).

Parenthesis not needed.

Tabs preferred for indentation here. Also, hardcoding the -Wall and -O
flags is not really great. Instead, can we do something like:

	cp -f $(LINUX_DIR)/include/video/sunxi_disp_ioctl.h $(@D)/
	$(TARGET_CC) $(TARGET_CFLAGS) -o $(@D)/a10disp $(@D)/a10disp.c

	$(INSTALL) -D -m 0755 $(@D)/a10disp $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/bin/a10disp

Thanks!
