Raspberry Pi Driver Updated With Vulkan 1.3 Support

([Vulkan] 3 Hours Ago V3DV Now Does Vulkan 1.3)


The Broadcom V3DV driver living within the Mesa code-base that provides Vulkan API support most notably for Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 single board computers now advertises Vulkan 1.3!

Alejandro PiƱeiro of Igalia saw his two month old merge request finally hit Mesa 24.3-devel today for exposing Vulkan 1.3 with the V3DV driver. This Vulkan 1.3 support has been successfully tested on both the Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 boards.

Just a small fix to correctly set the maxInlineUniformBlockSize and maxInlineUniformTotalSize properties was the last needed step before bumping the supported Vulkan API version. The code landed via [1]this merge request and is currently in the mainline Git code for Mesa 24.3. As it's just a small fix and bumping the version in the end, we'll see if this gets back-ported for the upcoming Mesa 24.2 release.
