OK, thanks.

Well, I did some comments on your xdriver_xf86-video-odroidc2 on
December 18, and you never came back with a new iteration of the
patches. So I did an additional review yesterday, and marked the
patches as Changes Requested in patchwork.

This is really not clean at all, and I'm not sure it won't create a
circular dependency at the Config.in level.

I think it's much easier to fix the original problem. We can fix the
issue by using the official khrplatform.h header, *BUT* I wanted
upstream to confirm that this is the correct thing to do. Indeed, the
khrplatform.h provided by the odroid-mali code does not use the same
size for the Khronos data types as the official Khronos header.

Best regards,

Thomas
