In the latest version of psplash (http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/psplash/)  there are two patches that are not in the version of psplash used in the oe-core denzil branch. The first patch called Make it easier to customise colours<http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/psplash/commit/?id=84764337a584002a92940323d374b0e417c573a6> moves some color definitions from being hardcoded into psplash.c and puts it in a new header file called psplash-colors.h.  The second patch Fix for psplash segmentation fault<http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/psplash/commit/?id=de9979aefbc56af59b4d236a4b63dd19dcdcfb53> fixes a segment fault issue.

What I would like to do is update the psplash_git.bb recipe to use the latest version of psplash that pulls in these two tweaks. The second patch has zero impact on existing users of the pslash recipe. If a particular layer tweaks the color definitions in psplash by patching the psplash.c file then the second patch mentioned above could result in a minor tweak having to be made to those layers to address the changes. In oe-classic noticed that there is a patch for psplash (http://cgit.openembedded.org/openembedded/tree/recipes/psplash/psplash-ti/0001-configurability-for-rev-422.patch) that patches psplash in almost the same exact way as the "Make it easier to customize colours" patch.

Are there any objections in bumping the version of psplash to incorporate the above mentioned patches? I haven't seen any layer adjust the psplash color definitions so I doubt there truly being any impact at all.
