MPC5121ADS PowerVR MBX driver on 2.6.31 kernel?

Hi all!

I would like to know if there is someone that tested the MBX driver for the
PowerVR graphic chip in MPC5121 ?
It seems that on kernel 2.6.21 works fine but it fails on 2.6.31 !
I'm using wrlinux as the build environment !

Any opinions are welcome !

Best !

You probably have to rebuild it from the source code for this new
kernel version.

Maybe you ask WRS to provide matching binaries, then? [Note that
woever provides the binaries also has to provide the sources; the
kernel is GPL after all...]

Best regards,

If the car industry behaved like the computer industry over the  last
30  years, a Rolls-Royce would cost $5, get 300 miles per gallon, and
blow up once a year killing all passengers inside.

The released binary MBX driver is based on kernel 2.6.24, not on 2.6.31.

It is a GPL violation that there is no source code available for it.
