Please ensure all bugs are linked against the ARMTracker as a blocker bug.

It's extremely unlikely to be the same problem. These problems tend to
be HW/driver specific and and even be affected by the model of screen
and the quirks of it's EDID and other such things.

Without the hardware in front of someone the bug reports need to be
extremely accurate with lots of details, things like "It used to work
on f32" are like trying to hunt for needles in a haystack.

The work I do is extremely limited to my personal time these days and
I tend to focus that limited time on feature enablement, like making
the Pinebook Pro work. I try to dig into regressions where ever
possible but they need to have a reasonable amount of information so
that I can begin to even know where to start. The bare minimum would
be to the likes of "it worked with 5.21.4 but stopped with 5.12.5" or
"worked with mesa 21.0 and not with 21.0.3", exact make/models of
screens etc. Elsewhere with the little time that the few of us that do
HW enablement have to deal with these things are better spent on
enhancements.

Sorry for being a little blunt here but mostly trying to set
expectations. There's very few people that actively work on the cheap
Arm HW enablement in Fedora and those that do primarily do it in our
spare time. When we do we do it upstream so the entire ecosystem can
benefit. So unfortunately unless it's HW we can actively reproduce
with, and while I have RPi HW I don't actively test graphics because
the fully accelerated graphics stack isn't upstream (#1 reason why
it's not officially supported in Fedora) and I have 2 screens which
don't seem to exhibit the issue.
