Étienne, I take back everything I said about waiting [3]. Feel free to begin preparing comgr and the devicelibs whenever you are ready. I was mostly worried about duplicate work on the patches required for those two libraries, but it seems they're not a problem thanks to Jeremy's efforts.
I suppose we could still wait for ROCM 5.7 before updating rocm-hipamd itself, but even then... maybe that's not so important.
Sincerely,
