Hmm...

Yes, I'll have a further look by the end of the day. I've marked it as
Changes Requested.

To be hnest, the whole of mesa3d may need a complete overhaul I think.
Theree dubious constructs here and there, like:

    config BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D_DRI_DRIVER
        bool
        select BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D_DRIVER
        select BR2_PACKAGE_XLIB_LIBXSHMFENCE if \
                (BR2_PACKAGE_XORG7 && BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SYNC_4)

So now I wonder if we shouldn't have something akin to this for Vulkan.

Really, mesa3d has become quite a nest of snakes. It's hard to follow
and understand the dependencies between each config options...

Probably, yes...

I'll have a look later today.

Thanks for the feedback. :-)
