Description
When discard is used in a shader, the fragment that is "behind" the current fragment should be resolved according to correct depth information. It looks like, on GC7000L, discarded pixels either overwrite the depth buffer anyway, or early-Z is not switched off correctly.
Here is a simple test case that I wrote to illustrate the problem:

Here is a new, prettier test case for wayland by rasterman+daniels:
This bug causes accelerated rendering in KiCAD to fail and makes some games like Minetest (a sophisticated open source Minecraft clone) unplayable. I attached some screenshot of the problems below.
Bounty
There was originally a bounty of EUR 1000.00 on this bug, but I happened to find the solution myself, so there is no more bounty (see comments).
Screenshots
These are the outputs from the new test case.
