Registered by Patrik Ryd

The patches for supporting the hardware accelerated multimedia for Snowball was delivered to a snowball specific 4.0.3 based branch.

The patches should be moved from the snowball_mm_4.0.3 branch to the linaro_android_4.0.4 branch for the following gits:

 * device/linaro/snowball
 * system/core
 * hardware/libhardware
 * hardware/libhardware_legacy
 * frameworks/base
 * bionic
 * frameworks/media/libvideoeditor

Notes:
[2012/4/1 patrik-ryd] First draft
[2012/4/16 patrik-ryd] Started looking at moving the patches while I wait for the kernel hackers to solve the "DMA problem".
[2012/4/18 patrik-ryd] Have all the patches on a 4.0.4 branch. Need to test it before I put in the #ifdefs
[2012/4/20 patrik-ryd] Tested a 4.0.4 based build successfully.
[2012/4/23 asac] guess this did not land in time for the RC cut?
[2012/4/24 patrik-ryd] Still working on this. Did not make it to 12.04.
[2012/4/30 patrik-ryd] When done with the this BP create https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/snowball-ics-gcc47-igloo-stable-blob/
[2012/4/30 pfefferz] Shifting to 12.05. Patrik is making good progress.
[2012/4/30 patrik-ryd] The panda build does not boot. Do not know yet if it is caused by the snowball patches. :(
[2012/5/2 patrik-ryd] Need to sprinkle some more #ifdefs on the code.
[2012/5/2 patrik-ryd] Have asked St-Ericsson for a new vendor tarball
[2012/5/ patrik-ryd] Created https://bugs.launchpad.net/igloocommunity/+bug/994538 needed for creating the build.
[2012/5/7 patrik-ryd] New orders from Zach. He wants the patches on a separate branch.
[2012/5/9 patrik-ryd] Origen works well, panda has problems (probably panda related) will push patches for review.
[2012/5/9 patrik-ryd] Origen not tested correctly. retesting
[2012/5/9 patrik-ryd] Origen works well, will push patches for review.
[2012/5/11 patrik-ryd] It was decided today to push all the patches except the ifdef patches since they made the snowball unstable. A new BP will be created for adding ifdefs and one for moving to the common branch.
[2012/5/14 patrik-ryd] snowball-ics-gcc47-igloo-stable-blob build created. Works with the current vendor tarball (4.6 based)
[2012/5/16 patrik-ryd]
The patches broke one one the snowball builds. We have decided to revert the patches. Will add work items below to get back to a good state and create a new BP to get the patches in again. It was decided to put the patches back "one by one" without breaking the other builds.
See https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/document/d/1Wcz8VrDxHlzKoWzhrimDuVmeTtEQOxiJ5jqIci9h_Rc/edit
and
https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/document/d/1wSpoM-mToAEHQnuvyJSsTfuPwCeHlZRNIo1C8WEBNnk/edit for meeting notes.
[2012/5/21 pfefferz] linaro_android_4.0.4_snowball has been reverted, from there we're going to put patches on linaro_android_4.0.4_snowball_mm.
[2012/5/29 pfefferz] Bumping to 12.06. Needed to take a more step by step approach.
[2012/6/13 patrik-ryd] Patch set 2 sent for review
[2012/6/18 patrik-ryd] Patch set 4 sent for review. Investigating if the leftover should go into patch set 5.
[2012/6/20 patrik-ryd] Decided not to do the 5:th patch set. Nothing important in the leftovers when comparing the features on the 4.0.3 mm branch for snowball and the 4.0.4 mm branch for snowball. Stride for cameras and audio output latency for a2dp BT audio. We can add it later if ever needed.
[2012/6/25 patrik-ryd] Everything is done except maybe the last work item. Need to check with mathieu before updating the last work item.
[2012/6/25 patrik-ryd]
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/snowball-ics-gcc46-igloo-stable-blob/ points to the linaro_android_4.0.4 branch of the manifest git. Last WI done -> BP = Implemented.

Meta:
Roadmap id: ANDROID2012-HW-ACCELERATION
Headline: Linaro Android for Snowball now has support for hardware accelerated multimedia.
Acceptance: Snowball patches for mm is now on the same branch as all other patches
