Sending again (no changes in patch series) but it never made it to
meta-arago list.

Patch series to add IMG PowerVR GPU accelerated Chromium support into
Kirkstone.

Patch 1 and 4 clean up some of the old Chromium cruft that was left in
the kirkstone branch that I can't imagine can possibly be useful now.

Then patch 2 and 3 add in a new dynamic layer to provide GPU support to
Chromium by allowing the PowerVR libraries to be used from within the
Chromium sandbox.   Also apply an upstream Chromium patch to stop
Chromium from segfaulting immediately on startup if no input devices are
detected.
The dynamic layer will append chromium-ozone-wayland to the
IMAGE_INSTALL for tisdk-default-image if the meta-browser layer is
detected.

Currently we need to pin the meta-browser layer to chromium v111 as there are
problems with the GPU integration in newer versions.  This pinning will
be taken care of as part of oe-layersetup once we decide if it becomes a
new "chromium" configuration, or if we add these layers into the normal
kirkstone configurations.  Downside is build time increases
considerably and image size increases.

All of this working depends on IMG PowerVR DDK23.3 being available in
meta-ti - Randolph sent these patches for review last week.

v2 - fixed typo in patch 2 subject line
