This well could be - I use the linux-boundary recipe for 3.0.35+ (my board is nearly identical to a SabreLite from Boundary Devices) I'm a bit confused by the '4.6.9p13' reference. Is that part of a GPU recipe version? or a kernel version? Can you point me to any discussion of this, or the kernel (which tree) revision that made this change, etc?
