Phoronix: TURNIP Vulkan Driver Is Back To Seeing Activity

One of the lesser known Vulkan drivers within Mesa is TURNIP but at least this week it's been seeing new activity after a recent lull in improvements...

pull instead of lull
EDIT: Just didnt know lull was a word. Well we learn something everyday.

turnip has not been forgotten but the focus recently has been a lot of (mostly) boring but important stuff on the gallium side (knocking out the remaining deqp fails, some cmdstream restructuring of state emit to properly synchronize hw state updates between draws, getting CI up and running, etc. (And also bring up geom/tess.)

Mostly there has been no point in doing things too soon in turnip and ending up having to port a lot of features or fixes between gallium and vk. But at some point soon I think you'll start seeing faster progress on turnip.

When I heard the name I thought this was going to be a Vulkan driver for a network adapter...
