Phoronix: Etnaviv DRM Driver Steps Closer To Mainline Linux Kernel

It's been a while since hearing anything new on Etnaviv, the open-source reverse-engineered DRM driver for supporting the ARM-based Vivante GPUs. That changed this morning with revised patches being sent out for this driver as it looks to be pulled into the mainline Linux kernel...

Vivante aren't ARM-based GPUs at all. They're GPU often used in ARM-based SoCs, or sometimes in MIPS-based SoCs.

Thank to people who write this driver.
I look forward the inclusion upstream to don't have to build and install my own kernel

I'm a little surprised, #etnaviv had gone quiet for a few days. Discussion in there has mostly moved onto Mesa though.
