Phoronix: Etnaviv Libdrm Code Being Reviewed, Gallium3D Driver Hopefully Not Far Behind

While it doesn't get talked about as much as Nouveau or Freedreno, the Etnaviv project has been another effort leading great progress on a full-functioning open-source graphics driver through reverse-engineering. Etnaviv is the reverse-engineered driver for Vivante graphics...

The more the merrier in the mesa tree.

From a quick browse, it looks like the vivante driver has at least had mesa 12.0 merged in semi-recently (not sure about 12.1-dev), so hopefully it shouldn't be a big merge/rebase project to get it ready for pulling into the upstream tree... I haven't looked at the actual code, just the commit history. It has at least as many active developers as freedreno/vc4, and gives us yet another group helping out with gallium development/tuning.
