** Description changed:

+ [ Impact ]
+ 
  Xilinx Mali support was originally written for GNOME 42 but it has
  bitrotted since then. We need to apply a few fixes to get it working
  again in GNOME 46 (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) and later:
  
  * https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/4019 or
    https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/4021
  * https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/4036
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ 1. Log into an Ubuntu (GNOME + Wayland) session on Xilinx hardware.
+ 2. Verify you can log in, there are no obvious rendering failures and that it 
really is a Wayland session (environment XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland and 
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0).
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ The Mutter/GNOME startup procedure had to be modified for this fix as well as 
some texture format parameters. So there is a small risk to:
+ (a) The ability of any machine to log into a Wayland session; and
+ (b) Rendering correctness once logged in.
