>> hallo guillaume, thanks for this.  the issue is that FSF Endorsement, the
*entire* source code must be available.  so if OpenCL libraries are
available for the >>Exynos 4412, then the full source code of those OpenCL
libraries must be available, otherwise for FSF Endorsement purposes you
simply cannot use that library.

yes, on that basis, we _can_ pursure Exynos 4412.

The LLVM project has an OpenCL frontend, so if the limadriver project
provides the ISA for the MALI ALUs, it should be fairly easily to provide a
full open source OpenCL stack via LLVM.
