Hi Thomas,

I would like to have the "kodi: Add support for more archs"[1] patch in 
2017.08, it allows to use kodi, among others, on aarch64.
In May we already had a user asking for this on our mailinglist:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2017-May/191352.html

This patch is part of a 3-patch series which includes a fix for the 
broken sunxi mali support. I agree with your proposal to change the egl 
checks to a positive list "depends on PLATFORM_A || PLATFORM_B || 
PLATFORM_C" but this takes more time to test than I currently have.

Therefore I removed the sunxi stuff from the patch series to keep only 
the fix for the supported archs. This patch is currently tested by test-
pkg with all 47 toolchains. I expect to have the result this evening and 
would sent v4 of the patch in the hope it will get into 2017.08 ;)

Regards, Bernd
