I agree with Dave. If they need an HAL, that is why standards are for. USB does not need any HAL. It is standardized. And this is where Khronos group falls short.

They provide a standard implemented by the driver and not the hardware. There is not even a standard to get performance metrics for GFX cards. Nothing.

I agree with Dave. If you do not want to create the standard, leave others to do it. But having an HAL inside the driver is problematic.

Shall we have a cross-platform standard for writing cross-platform drivers? Write once, run everywhere? Why not as long as it is open source.

But it still needs someone to govern it, like linux kernel project and device companies do not seem interested. Which says a lot for their intentions.
