[Buildroot] [PATCH v3] qt5base: Qt KMS support does not depend on opengl

[Joshua Henderson]

Qt KMS support should not explicitly depend on the availability of opengl.
Don't explicitly disable KMS if opengl is not available and fallback to
detecting if libdrm is available before disabling kms.

The scenario where this is necessary involves using the Qt linuxfb backend
"dumb buffer" support via the DRM API.  This is new in Qt 5.9 [1] and only
requires KMS, but not opengl.

v3:
- Reorganize libdrm/egl make condition to be more clear.

v2:
- If libdrm is configured, make it an explicit dependency.

Ping.  Have you had a chance to review this latest version in response to your
feedback?  What are the chances this can make it into a rev of 2018.02?

?This sounds like we should handle the Qt 5.6 case specially.

?However, on Qt 5.6, it builds fine with the -kms option, it just ends up not
being used. That means we have a redundant dependency on libdrm, but that
doesn't matter that much. Handling the Qt 5.6 case differently would make the
code quite a bit more complicated.

?Therefore, I explained the above in the commit log an applied to master, thanks.

?Sorry it took so long.


?Regards,
?Arnout

No problem.  Thanks Arnout.
