sometimes indirectly.. but they are generated from:

  https://github.com/freedreno/envytools/tree/master/rnndb

The cmdstream and devcoredump decoding tools (which also use the xml)
are in the envytools tree as well.

We have a copy of the gpu side xml in mesa, where we generate the
headers at build time, but I guess doing that on the kernel side would
introduce some build time dependencies that others wouldn't
appreciate:

  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/tree/master/src/freedreno/registers

Mesa already depends a lot on py generated headers, tables, etc.
