Subject: radeonsi: disable CE by default
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1ab7fed7079a8b0f670d6a51ddc98691ace29508;p=mesa.git

radeonsi: disable CE by default

It makes performance worse by a very small (hard to measure) amount.
We've done extensive profiling of this feature internally.
