Ok, so I am trying to understand the impact of the following issue seen under 
our "zeus" based Intel platform build:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/dri-devel/patch/20190905181834.6234-1-daniel.vet...@ffwll.ch/

The patch is currently preventing my image from going down the 
DRM_CLIENT_CAP_ATOMIC path...

I currently have algorithms centered around the GPU dependent on X and this 
path, and would like to be able to work around this, if possible.

My goal was to get our Yocto based platform in line with the current Yocto 
release, all our original code was done using the "rocko" release. I have now 
ported our Intel based build to "zeus" with this being our final issue...

Questions:


(1) If I wanted to rebuild the "zeus" 3.0.4 kernel to add debug code around 
this issue how would I go about doing this ?

(2)  Under my downloads directory I see linux-5.2.tar.xz is downloaded, tar 
ball is without the patch, so I am assuming the patch being applied after, 
correct ?

(3)  I do not see this built under the build tree after I build my Yocto image, 
Are some components under the builds tree removed after successfully being 
built ?, and how might I stop them from being deleted for inspection, etc. ?

(4)  When I perform "bitbake -e linux | grep ^T=" I see the following"

ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'linux'. Close matches:

  syslinux

  linuxptp

  linux-atm

Was the linux-5.2 package renamed on built or am I looking at the wrong package 
as my stating point ?

(5)  It appears the patch was added to the kernel 
(https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master) about a year ago, has the patch 
been applied to any earlier pre-zeus releases ?

(6)  Will this X11 issue be addressed in future releases, i.e. "gatesgarth". 
"hardnott" ?

(7)  It is unclear but would you know about what release they might have broken 
this path ?

Thanks,
Steve
