         | The GPUs themselves are named after norse mythology (utgard,
         | midgard, bifrost, valhall), the driver names have been related
         | to those (panfrost, panthor, and now tyr). And the whole theme
         | comes from the fact that the GPUs originate from Norwegian
         | company (later acquired by ARM)
