Thanks for the detailed report. Very much appreciated!

Yes, this is exactly the reason.

Yes, you no longer need the devel projects, since the driver+firmware is now
included in our products. So better remove these.

Thanks for confirmation.

Yeah. You need to reboot now after changing kernel modules config. You no
longer can easily unload the driver when option "fbdev=1" is et which
eventually added a Linux console with this driver.

Interesting that having this option still set breaks things. I think it should
be removed from the driver.

Ok. Good to know this. Maybe sway just doesn't work with Mesa's software
fallback driver, no matter which KMS driver is in use.
