The most important change is shipping the .so files in ${PN}, this is
needed for things like xf86-video-fbturbo to work properly. Also disable
the QA check this triggers.
Other fixes include:
* make recipe conform to OE style guide
* update to latest git
* remove unused INC_PR
* RPROVIDES_* is about packages, not about files, remove it
* Use default git protocol ('git') instead of 'http', which isn't
officially supported by github
* Add libUMP.so symlink for xf86-video-fbturbo
Runtime tested on olinuxino-a13/Angstrom

Performance
The default machine settings are meant to be the lowest common denominator, maximizing generality. Significantly better performance (2x-3x) can be achieved with the following settings:
Allwinner A20
For Allwinner A20 (Cubieboard2/CubieTruck), the following tuning options are recommended:
Enable hardfloat, thumb2 and neon capabilities
DEFAULTTUNE = "cortexa7hf-neon-vfpv4"
This tuning profile takes advantage of the Allwinner A20 hardfloat, neon and vfpv4 capabilities.
Change CPU governor to ondemand, and tune settings
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo 336000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
echo 912000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
#More aggressive
#echo 1008000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
echo 40 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold
echo 200000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate
This code changes the default CPU governor from fantasy to ondemand, and tunes its settings, as recommended at http://linux-sunxi.org/Cpufreq
