[meta-freescale] [meta-fsl-arm][PATCH 08/11] imx-gpu-viv: Upgrade to 5.0.11.p4.4 from 3.14.28-1.0.0 GA release

[Lauren Post]

They are backward compatible with 3.10.53.

3.10.17 is v4 version of graphics while 3.14.28 and 3.10.53 use the v5 version only available in master branch.  3.10.17 and 3.10.53 graphics do not mix with each other kernels.  Starting with 3.10.53 we do have support via kernel loadable modules to support  both 3.10.53 and 3.14.28 kernels.

The kernel loadable modules will be coming in next week.

Lauren

Are these closed-source libraries backward compatible with the GPU drivers in older (3.10.17, 3.10.53) kernels?
