"VK_EXT_direct_mode_display" not present in Vulkan 1.2 on Jetpack 4.4

Looking at the source, I don’t believe there is a way to enable it on that platform currently.

VK_EXT_direct_mode_display is not required for doing direct mode through Vulkan on Jetson. VK_KHR_display and VK_KHR_display_swapchain are supported and those can be used for direct display mode.
