+From: marfrit-packages noether <claude-noether@reauktion.de>
+Subject: [PATCH] panvk: report fragmentStoresAndAtomics = true on Bifrost
+
+Backports Mesa main's unconditional advertisement of
+fragmentStoresAndAtomics for panvk (snapshot ref: src/panfrost/vulkan/
+panvk_vX_physical_device.c at commit-time 2026-05-06; the line reads
+`.fragmentStoresAndAtomics = true,` on main with no PAN_ARCH gate).
+
+Motivation: Chromium Dawn's WebGPU initializer in
+third_party/dawn/src/dawn/native/vulkan/PhysicalDeviceVk.cpp:250
+unconditionally rejects any Vulkan adapter that doesn't advertise this
+feature, causing Dawn to fall back to the SwiftShader CPU adapter
+on PineTab2 / RK3566 / Mali-G52 r1 MC1 (PAN_ARCH 7). With this patch the
+device advertises true, satisfying Dawn's gate. Tracked at
+https://git.reauktion.de/marfrit/panvk-bifrost/issues/2.
+
+The disjunction with `instance->force_enable_shader_atomics` is
+preserved as a kill-switch: in compiler terms it's dead code
+(`true || X == true`), but it leaves the DRI option
+`pan_force_enable_shader_atomics` semantically wired so future
+rebases or downstream debugging can see the link to the runtime knob.
+
+Caveat: the existing DRI option's description in src/util/driconf.h
+still labels this as "may not work reliably and is for debug purposes
+only". Mesa main's choice to ship it as default-on for all panvk
+architectures (including Bifrost, which is non-conformant per the
+PAN_I_WANT_A_BROKEN_VULKAN_DRIVER gate) reflects an upstream judgment
+that the practical risk is acceptable. Verify-before-ship for this
+package: dEQP-VK.glsl.atomic_operations.* + dEQP-VK.image.store.*
+deltas vs the r4 baseline must show no new fails. Pass counts may rise
+(tests that previously NotSupported now run); the load-bearing line is
+the Failed column staying at zero.
