Pierre, All,

Ah yes, in this case, it makes sense to rename the option and chage the
prompt. But still keep it somewhat aligned to what upstream names it,
maybe something like:

    prompt BR2_PACKAGE_QT5CINEX_HD
        bool "high-definition support (aka RPi Edition)"
        help
          Some blabla about what you explained above. ;-)

Indeed, with what you explained, rpi-userland or rpi-firmware is an
indirect dependency, only true when the target in indeed an RPi, but for
other platforms, it could well be another GL provider.

Thank you for the explanations, be sure to include them in some form or
another in the next iteration of the patch.
