Build error: dkms-mali-utgard-meson r6p1-2

[jonek]

Hi,

I tried to install dkms-mali-utgard-meson r6p1-2 [1] becauseI assume it is required to get the Mali Utgard Meson driver [2, 3] working on my ORDROID C2.
Is my assumption correct?

Unfortunately when the module is compiled on installation it fails with the following error log.
I have the linux-aarch64 5.2.11-1 [4] kernel installed.

I thought I'd poke at this a bit, but I won't be much help since I run my C2 headless. So no Mali stuff.

Anyway, it appears that get_monotonic_boottime was declared in /linux/timekeeping.h but they removed it in kernel version 4.20-rc1 because they thought nothing used it anymore (since it had been deprecated for some time because of year 2038 overflow).

Here's the commit where they talk about the removal:

Here's where they talk about replacement functions:

Puzzled as to why you don't just install the already compiled package in ALARM though.
