Description Andrius Štikonas 2019-05-18 12:53:45 UTC
mesa 19.1 has a new driver for mali GPUs. It's probably still experimental but maybe worth adding VIDEO_CARDS use flag for testing it.

Linux 5.2 kernel will ship with panfrost kernel driver.

Reproducible: Always

    profiles: Add panfrost and lima descriptions and use masks
    
    lima is still very experimental, so it remains use.mask'd regardless of
    platform.
