Yes , the gplay will use the vpu driver. But the VPU driver is not in 
the kernel. Without the vpu driver, the gplay can not works.

It will be a nightmare to me.  We have nearly 1000 patches. I will cost 
me much time to handle the conflicts.

I can email to you the gplay, if you have an imx6q board. you can test it.
I just wish someone give me some advice about this issue.

I find the arch/arm/include/asm/assembler.h is out of date. So I will 
update it and test it again.

thanks a lot , Dirk.
