Comment 2

[anyakichi]

OpenMAX IL 1.1.2 header files were released twice on the same version, and Firefox 68 includes the OLD headers.

The main change between the two versions is definition of fixed-sized integers. For example, the old version defines OMX_U32 as unsigned long, but the new version defines it as uint32_t.

The definition of the old version is apparently wrong, because there is no guarantee that unsigned long is 32-bit length. Actually unsigned long is 64-bit length on ARM64 and this mismatch cause a problem when using OpenMAX on RZ/G2 series SoCs.

Patch looks sensible to me. Is there someone on playback who can handle reviews/try pushes?

We're no longer using openmax, so we're going to file a bug on removing it from the code base.
