Aren't these easier to carry in our kernel repository?

If so, I applied them to a branch with a hideously long name:
	boundary-imx_3.0.35_4.0.0-plus-vivante-4.6.9p11.1

https://github.com/boundarydevices/linux-imx6/tree/boundary-imx_3.0.35_4.0.0-plus-vivante-4.6.9p11.1

Does anybody know if there are ABI changes in the corresponding
userspace bits?

How about release notes?

Please advise,


Eric
