Dear Maintainer,
mesa 25.1.0 will introduce upstream support for the Apple M1 and M2 GPUs
found on newer Apple hardware, including full OpenGL (4.6), Vulkan (1.4)
and OpenCL (3.0) support. In Debian we've been using the Asahi drivers
for as long as they have been around, and we are maintaining a downstream
fork for early enablement in Bananas Team [1].
Starting from 25.1.0, could you please enable the Asahi drivers in mesa? A
patch to do so is in attachment. Asides from the native arm64 builds, it
also enables the amd64 and i386 builds needed for the gaming stack [2].
Cheers!
