[Freedreno] [GSoC-15] Enabling Freedreno on Android

[Varad Gautam]

Hi Rob,

I'm gradually coming up to speed with the current state of things, and
have some more questions about adding Freedreno support to Android.

Since the qcom DRI patches are in, I will look for a suitable LCD to add
support for. As I understand, I would need to extend drm_gralloc [1] to
provide freedreno, similar to nouveau and radeon. I can use the
kernel-msm [2] tree with x86's mesa and drm to build android. Is ifc6410
the intended target?

I am confused by the presence of freedreno in kitkat-x86 [3] - can it
build with freedreno already? I am digging into Android's build system,
kernel and graphics stack and will come up with a set of TODOs soon.
