On ChromeOS devices, readdir() processes the directory in
the following order:

-NAME-              -TYPE-
.                    n/a
..                   n/a
vgem                 n/a
card1           DRM_BUS_PLATFORM
renderD129      DRM_BUS_PLATFORM
card0             DRM_BUS_PCI
renderD128        DRM_BUS_PCI
controlD64        DRM_BUS_PCI

In drmGetDevices2, after drmProcessPlatformDevice fails for
/dev/dri/card1, we don't process the remaining directory entries.
As such, Vulkan fails to initialize since Mesa uses drmGetDevices2.
To fix this, continue if drmProcessPlatformDevice fails.

Added a fixes tag and addressed the host1x + usb instances.

Thank you!

I'm not sure this is a good fix. drmProcessPlatformDevice() is only
supposed to fail in fatal situations, such as out-of-memory. So the
reason it doesn't continue is that it doesn't make sense to. In the
case of out-of-memory situations, for example, the next allocation
is assumed to fail as well.

Now, reading the code again, maybe the reason it is failing is because
the code tries to look for OF_FULLNAME and OF_COMPATIBLE_N and may not
find them. I suspect that card1 and renderD129 are from a vgem device,
which is, as far as I can tell, the only case of a platform device
without an OF node.

In that case I think we should fix drmProcessPlatformDevice() to deal
with those cases instead (make the list of compatibles optional, and
fallback to some other mechanism to determine the name). Otherwise we
will be silently ignoring errors and skipping devices that we really
shouldn't.
