Before requesting git-pull I commented like below to the author, "I think other maintainer will require real user space - not thing like libdrm - which uses new ABI. The solution I think would be to apply the new ABI to tdm exynos backend of Tizen platform below, https://review.tizen.org/git/?p=platform/adaptation/samsung_exynos/libtdm-exynos.git;a=blob;f=src/tdm_exynos_pp.c;h=db20e6f226d313672d1d468e06d80526ea30121c;hb=refs/heads/tizen" Anyway, Linux platform I mentioned is _real_ user, Tizen[1], for it. Sorry about it. I didn't comment exactly what is the Linux platform. And thanks for explanation.
