[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 2/3] egl: return corresponding offset of EGLImage instead of 0.

No, that's not ok.

First i965 isn't the only one to implement the dri image interface (see 
the gallium one), second a new implementer doesn't have to start from 
the most recent version, and can choose to implement older version, 
which wouldn't implement your new functionnality.


The code has to be something like:

if (offsets) {

    offsets[0] = 0;

    if (dri2_dpy->image->base.version >= 13)

dri2_dpy->image->queryImage(dri2_img->dri_image, 
__DRI_IMAGE_ATTRIB_OFFSET, offsets);

}
