[Bug 286311] x11-wm/sway: fails to start on amdgpu after ports bb43067a6928

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=286311

--- Comment #10 from Evgenii Khramtsov <[email protected]> ---
git bisect with subproject/wlroots is a PITA due to upstream {API chase days
after,meson wlroots project rename}, and other temporary dev branch regressions
in the way, so with manual date based bisect of two projects I found out that:

https://github.com/swaywm/sway/commit/ae7c1b139a3c

is the first commit with "drm_gem_plane_helper_prepare_fb: explicit fence not
handled" that causes the message to appear, only black screen before
ae7c1b139a3c.

Thankfully sway could be kill -9 via ssh and vt(4) doesn't get garbled.
Afterwards "Requested backend configuration failed, searching for valid
fallbacks" to be seen.

I didn't try because WLR_RENDER_NO_EXPLICIT_SYNC works.

I know, really. I can report something to both wlroots and drm-kmod (not
today).

I feel like this comment is too authoritarian, so I would rather keep my scarce
free volunteer time today for something else, and would report upstream a day
later or so.
