So actually your PATCH 1/2 without PATCH 2/2 is broken, because PATCH
1/2 now allows to enable sunxi-mali-mainline on AArch64, but
sunxi-mali-mainline-driver does not support AArch64. It seems like you
have some issue understanding the concept of bisectability :-)

Anyway, now that PATCH 1/2 is applied and pushed, it's too late to back
out.

Could you instead change the .mk to do this:

SUNXI_MALI_MAINLINE_DRIVER_MAKE_OPTS = \
	$(LINUX_MAKE_FLAGS) \
        KDIR=$(LINUX_DIR)

Indeed, LINUX_MAKE_FLAGS already include CROSS_COMPILE,
INSTALL_MOD_PATH and ARCH.

As separate commits, please add hash files for both sunxi-mali-mainline
and sunxi-mainline-driver. Also, it would be good to have patches
adding license information for both of those packages. For the
mali-blobs, there's a PDF containing the EULA. For the kernel driver, I
didn't see a license file, but I didn't look everywhere. If there is
none, could you check with Maxime to make sure a license file gets
added ?

Thanks,

Thomas
