Cool, so it's all there. Please add link to the patches/support for this
(e.g. Weston patches need to be on the m-l, reviewed by weston maintainers
to be considered "ready"). Then once the userspace is all ready we can
pull in the kernel patch. After that userspace side can land.

Yes this is a bit of work to orchestrated, but this process is the result
of getting it wrong a few too many times in DRM-land. ABI is hard ;-)

So please resend your patch once all that is done, with links to gstreamer
and weston patches with their r-b tags from maintainers.

Thanks, Daniel
