Ok I'll look at it when I have time. I definitely would like to see
the package for next release. Not sure I'll be able to submit anything
before next year though.

Regarding the current patch, I'm not sure about the armhf patch, does
it default to armhf all the time (except when OS=android) even if the
toolchain doesn't support it?
Also dependencies need some work since this package implicitly depend
on OpenGL, so the select of BR2_PACKAGE_QT5DECLARATIVE_QUICK can fail
currently.

I don't feel brave enough to look at all those items, that's for sure.
I'll let you know once I've spent some time on webengine.

Regards,
Gary
