The value of the AFBC_FEATURES register is required by userspace to determine AFBC support on Bifrost. A user on our IRC channel (#panfrost) reported a workload that raised a fault on one system's Mali G31 but worked flawlessly with another system's Mali G31. We determined the cause to be missing AFBC support on one vendor's Mali implementation -- it turns out AFBC is optional on Bifrost!
Whether AFBC is supported or not is exposed in the AFBC_FEATURES register on Bifrost, which reads back as 0 on Midgard. A zero value indicates AFBC is fully supported, provided the architecture itself supports AFBC, allowing backwards-compatibility with Midgard. Bits 0 and 15 indicate that AFBC support is absent for texturing and rendering respectively.
The user experiencing the fault reports that AFBC_FEATURES reads back 0x10001 on their system, confirming the architectural lack of AFBC. Userspace needs this this parameter to know to disable AFBC on that chip, and perhaps others.
