1693072 - Ship webrender to Adreno 505 and 506 on release

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics: WebRender, task, P3)

Description

[Jamie Nicol [:jnicol]]

Webrender has been enabled for most Adreno 5xx and 6xx devices for a while now, but 505 and 506 were held back due to bug 1609191. We were seeing a moderate number of crashes during what we suspected was shader compilation.

The crashes on 505 and 506 have all but disappeared. Additionally, after shipping to the wider release audience we saw the same crashes on other 5xx devices, not just 505 and 506, but the numbers were never so high as to be worrying. So we are safe to ship to 505 and 506 as well.
