       @martijnbraam What devices are these GPUs used in?

       @be powervr GPUs are in tons of interesting devices like the nokia n900, the models in this MR are a bit newer than that one though, used in a few mediatec SoCs and some things I can't find any info on

       @be oh actually, that's the mediatek socs that are in mainline because they're used in a bunch of chromebooks, that's pretty great

       @martijnbraam Cool! Maybe there's still hope for the x86 tablet with a powervr GPU I have.

       @Jbb @martijnbraam I was given a handful of tablets the other day. 2 Kindle Fire 7 (2019) and a Q-Link Scepter 8. The Q-Link only took a quick "fastboot oem unlock" to open up the bootloader. It' s got a Allwinner A100 which from a quick search may have mainline support. I've dedicated it reading comic books but would be neat to see PMos or something on it someday.

       @jawsh @Jbb The A100 doesn't seem to be really well supported in mainline yet, it's relatively recent. Otherwise bringing up an allwinner device would've been relatively straightforward

       @martijnbraam does this do anything interesting for those old netbooks or the Sony 'not-a-netbook' devices?

       @bornagainenguin No, wrong generation of powervr, but maybe in the future :)
