[Arm-netbook] Ainol Novo 7 Elf

[Marco Caminati]

I'm having some troubled progress.

1) Mouse on Usb/Otg works if the kernel is compiled with menuconfig item "/dev/hidraw raw HID device support" enabled. In the same menuconfig screen there is a very similarly named item disabled, did not touch it.

2) Touchscreen works thanks to goodix_touch in whose source, however, multitouch should be disabled as suggested on http://www.miniand.com/forums/forums/2/topics/138. Of course, goodix is the driver for my touchscreen chip, which, as I understand, changed in more recent novo7 elves.


3) Using  versions later than g67aaa26, I get the following error when building the (dispensable) MALI modules

I am afraid this could have to do with my lack of experience with makefiles, so I am asking here before filing a bug on github. My build machine is a debian stable with cross toolchain (arm-linux-gnueabi gcc 4.4) got from emdebian.
I get the same error also on straight compiling on the tablet itself.
