Graphics stack updates for Raspberry Pi devices

This talk will show the efforts done in the Open-Source graphics stack for
supporting Raspberry Pi devices. Although the talk will focus on the recently
launched new Raspberry Pi 5, we will show the improvements done for previous
generations of the Raspberry Pi hardware.

Raspberry Pi 5 has available FLOSS GPU drivers on product launch, exposing
OpenGL-ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2. We'll go through the changes needed to enable
desktop OpenGL 3.1 on RPi4/5.

We will also review the changes done to the kernel driver to expose the RPi5
capabilities and the new GPU stats support for RPi4/5.

Finally, we will show the work done to use Wayfire as the default Wayland
compositor on the Raspberry Pi OS.
