[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/2] weston: fix i.MX support

[Gary Bisson <gary.bisson@boundarydevices.com>]

Hi,

Gentle ping on this series, do you have any questions?

Note that I got i.MX8M VPU to work using regular GStreamer packages +
gtreamer-imx-v2 plugin but is only useful if Weston if fixed (as i.MX8*
graphics only support Wayland backend).

Regards,
Gary
