Re: About the stability of the panfrost driver

[Mario Marietto <marietto2008%gmail.com@localhost>]

But is it out of the source tree ? In FreeBSD it is out,but it does exist. Based on this document :

https://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-release-10/xsrc/external/mit/MesaLib/dist/docs/drivers/panfrost.rst

it seems that I can compile it. How good it is ? Can you share a more detailed paper about how to compile it ?

NetBSD does not have a panfrost driver in the source tree.
