Could we maybe get this merged, because currently compiling the odroid-3.14.y branch with gcc 7.x breaks hw accelleration on the Odroid C2 as can be seen here. |

Does recompiling with gcc7 and this patch actually help (as opposed to no-patch or gcc6)? I'm a bit skeptical, because it's a fix for build error, which afaict affects only aufs module, so if you can build with up-to-date gcc7, doesn't seem to be relevant to your issue and maybe not needed anymore. |
