Sad to see such a mistake in a lwn article

I was under the impression that the Lima drivers kind of worked, presently.

The Pi doesn't have a Mali.

You are absolutely right about that. My bad.

actually, the Pi does have an opensource video driver.
People are just complaining because it turns out that the video driver is little more than a shim to call complex functions in the video firmware, which is not open.

Hey that's me! :)
I would like to point out that I was referring to my laptop's video drivers (which are pretty slow), not the RPi's.
