I have a bunch of platforms here (Atmel SAMA5D2x, TI AM335x and i.MX6) 
all of which I have Yocto images create for. I’ll fire them up and see 
whether the /dev/dri/cardN devices get created or not. I’m happy to do 
some testing (probably with a little guidance) if it is possible to 
build suitable images using Yocto and meta-webkit.
