If the new version of the i.MX6 GPU drivers support both 3.10.53 and 3.14.28, then I think we should package just this latest version. People running 3.10.17 should upgrade :) Best regards, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
