No GPU acceleration on Radxa Zero 3W with Debian Bullseye

For anyone who needs Panfrost driver on Debian 11(Bullseye), here’s Mesa 21.3.8 compiled with Panfrost enabled. To get Panfrost working, you’ll need to install the mesa libraries along with a Linux kernel version 5.8 and above.

I also have Mesa 24 for Debian 12 compiled with Panfrost if anyone is interested. Newer mesa has updated Panfrost driver that is more stable(less graphical glitches on desktop) and I enabled the experimental Panvk Vulkan driver.

For more info on setting up GPU drivers(Panfrost/libmali) for the Mali G52 GPU on RK3566/RK3568, you may refer to my thread for the Rock 3A/3B that I will be updating as I experiment further.
