[Letux-kernel] kmscube running on dm3730 (GTA04) and omap5 (Pyra)

[H. Nikolaus Schaller]

Hi,
I managed to get the kmscube work on the DM3730 using
the 1.17 DDK (and kernel).

What it needs:
* Debian Bullseye (sid) because it needs libc >= 2.29 [1]
* our latest kernel (e.g. letux-5.6-rc) with CONFIG_PVRSGX_1_17_4948957=y
* installation of ddk-1.17-um from TI git (automated through [2])
* apt-get install kmscube
* kmscube -D /dev/dri/card1

(for some unknown reasons the default is card0).

So thanks to those who have provided these latest user-space libs.

Unfortunately OMAP5432 fails (with jacinto6evm install)

installing user space files for `jacinto6evm'
mkdir -p //etc

So it looks as if we have to patch again some binary so
that OMAP5432 isn't rejected.

The "Extra options present in KM" seems easier to fix.
0x8000 hints at SUPPORT_ACTIVE_POWER_MANAGEMENT.
We define it in drivers/gpu/drm/pvrsgx/1.17.4948957/eurasia_km/Makefile

Nikolaus
