+/* There is a workaround for Mesa behaviour, which will cause black windows
+ * when RGBX formats is using. Why exactly? There is an explanation:
+ * 1. We create GL_RGBA texture with GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE type, all allowed by ES.
+ * 2 .We export these texture to GBM bo with GBM_FORMAT_XRGB8888, and Mesa sets internal
+ * format of these textures as GL_RGB8 (mesa/mesa!5034 (merged))
+ * 3. We import these BO at some point, and use glTexSubImage on it with GL_RGBA format
+ * and with GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE type, as we creates. Mesa checks its internalformat
+ * in glTexSubImage2D and fails due to GLES internal format limitation
+ * (see https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL/specs/es/2.0/es_full_spec_2.0.pdf, section 3.7.1).
