Re: [PATCH] libpng: Added "--enable-hardware-optimizations" instead of "--enable-arm-neon". Because "--enable-arm-neon" only works for armv7, but doesn't work for aarch64. But in fact neon is also enabled for aarch64 by default.

Reference to libpng-1.6.38/configure,if enable_hardware_optimizations is

It's difficult (impossible?) to automatically detect whether an ARM
target supports NEON at build time, so this looks unlikely to work.
Testing for NEON either needs to happen at run time or the information
needs to be passed from the build system as an explicit configure
option (ie the original approach here).

If you don't want to pass NEON options to 64bit ARM targets then add
an over-ride which only applies to 32bit ARM targets.

Or in this case, if the configure script is wrong to try to enable
NEON for 64bit ARM targets, patch the configure script and submit the
patch upstream.
