<ul>
<li>kernel (Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold): temporarily switch to a dedicated GKI kernel branch based on the much older revision used by the stock OS and AOSP to resolve major Mali GPU driver regressions, which can then be narrowed down further after we have an initial workaround for the crashes/stalls caused by the driver changes</li>
