Please consider add loong64 in mutter source package's d/rules.
```
# Please keep this list in sync with debian/tests/installed-tests
override_dh_auto_test:
-ifeq (,$(filter mips64el riscv64 s390x,$(DEB_HOST_ARCH)))
+ifeq (,$(filter mips64el riscv64 s390x loong64,$(DEB_HOST_ARCH)))
         $(TEST_COMMAND)
         -$(TEST_COMMAND_FLAKY) --logbase flaky-tests

```
There are also 2 tests fail with independent graphics card.

But based on the above patch, I built mutter 46.4-1 in local ENV (Due to 
mutter blocks many gnome-* packages).
Please check 
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=gnome-shell&suite=sid.
Please check 
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=gnome-remote-desktop&suite=sid.

I built gnome-shell and gnome-remote-desktop in local ENV with 
independent graphics card(Radeon HD 8570).
gnome-shell and gnome-remote-desktop's test cases are all passed.

I installed gnome-shell(depend gnome-remote-desktop) and run command 
"gnome-shell --version" and "gnome-shell --replace",
the gnome-shell window is displayed normally.
Since bugs can't display images, I'm purposely emailing you the 
interface(3 images) of gnome-shell after running it.
So sorry to bother you on IRC, thanks for your advise.

BTW, without independent graphics card, build gnome-shell and 
gnome-remote-desktop have test cases failure.
After the maintainer merged mutter's patch, maybe I need to add 
patch(add loong64 in d/rules) for gnome-shell and gnome-remote-desktop.

Thanks,
Dandan Zhang
