There is something really odd here: why is this package named
mali-bitfrost-driver if the subdirectory you're building is
r8p0/drivers/gpu/arm/midgard ? bitfrost and midgard are two different
generations of the ARM Mali GPU, at least according to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mali_(GPU).

Could you clarify (you or somebody else, for that matter) ?

Thanks!

Thomas
