Subject: vc4: Put dead writes into the NOP register when generating code.
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9dbfca10a306fe5ae5b81845cb8f4d16022d6790;p=mesa.git

vc4: Put dead writes into the NOP register when generating code.

They still provide register pressure since I haven't made a special class
for them, but since they're only live for one instruction it probably
doesn't matter.

This improves the readability of QPU assembly.
