+- Add libdrm-drop-valgrind-dep.patch (as source): drop dependency
+  on valgrind on generated pkgconfig files. The .pc files are
+  auto-generated by meson and are 'technically' correct, but we do
+  not want to inject valgrind here (we can get away with this hack
+  as it's only relevant when using pkg-config --static, and we
+  do not provide static libs anyway).
