fix(rockchip-rk3588): Enable mesa-vpu extension for GPU acceleration

brainwavecoder9 · brainwavecoder9 · commit 03455cb7fd9a · 2025-11-23T03:55:55.000-07:00
Extensions seem to be optional, but the mesa-vpu extension author stated this 'should be enabled on all for rk3588 distributions' but was never implemented. Without it, desktop images use llvmpipe software rendering instead of GPU. Although ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=mesa-vpu resolves the issue, users will run into concerns for other optional extensions similar to #7482. Approach uses extension_prepare_config hook to auto-enable mesa-vpu, ensuring it loads regardless of user-specified ENABLE_EXTENSIONS. Tested on Orange Pi 5 Plus: glxinfo now shows Mali-G610 (Panfrost).
