Bug 99311

Ok, I finished the bisection:
8b5749f65ac434961308ccb579fb8a816e4f29d5 is the first bad commit
commit 8b5749f65ac434961308ccb579fb8a816e4f29d5
Author: Kenneth Graunke <kenneth@whitecape.org>
Date:   Sun Nov 15 04:37:50 2015 -0800

    glsl: Override the # of varying slots for ClipDistance and TessLevel*.
    
    Right now, this shouldn't have any effect, as all drivers use
    LowerClipDist and LowerTessFactors to turn the float[] arrays into
    vectors.
    
    However, it should help make it possible for drivers to avoid that
    lowering.

I verified this is really the first bad commit by building 1edc53a66b with 8b5749f65a reverted and that gave me a working SDDM again.

Patches reverted, reopen if things are still broken.  Sorry for the trouble.

Thanks for the quick revert! I can confirm, that a build of faa1edeeb7bbe9321c79587e592dce812e8caa78 (which includes the reverting commit) is fine again.

And no worries: this is why this is a development version. Breakage can happen.
