Don't ever do OpenGL on fbdev. Ever. The fbdev emulation we have is to
support boot splashs, kernel console, oopses and legacy applications that
just love fbdev too much and don't support native kms dumb buffers.

Anything that goes beyond kms dumb buffers (like displaying buffers
rendered through opengl) is imo a complete no-go. Yes Android loves to do
that, but for upstream we need a proper drm render driver, buffer sharing
through prime and the userspace hwcomposer needs to use native drm kms
ioctls. Also, userspace (especially the opengl part) needs to be open
source for upstream.

Thanks, Daniel
