So I kind of agree with this one, because the mesa3d freedreno driver
is not usable without the libdrm support for this platform. However,
this is not really explained in your commit log.

However, this one I disagree, and I also disagree for it on etnaviv.
Indeed, even with this, you still can't enable kmscube, which requires
EGL *and* OpenGL ES, but you're not forcefully enabling OpenGL ES. And
I don't think it makes sense to forcefully enable EGL and OpenGL ES.

So, what I'd prefer to see is:

 - A patch that drops the select BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D_OPENGL_EGL from the
   etnaviv mesa3d option.

 - A patch that adds just the select BR2_PACKAGE_LIBDRM_FREEDRENO,
   perhaps with a comment that says it's a runtime dependency.

What do you think ?

Best regards,

Thomas
