I came across this thread:
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/meta-freescale/2015-March/013126.html

so it seems it is a recurring topic even here.
mx28 doesn't seems too much loved for the reasons you explained in a 
previous email.
 From a user point of view the lack of a bit more support in different 
places to CPU that don't have opengl is increasing friction for 
newcomers quite a bit.

I'll subscribe to openembedded ML and move the topic there to see what 
would be the quality level required for a patch to
packagegroup-qt5-toolchain-target.bb
or if I should just write my own layer to _remove stuff from there.

 From my point of view disabling opengl (and other things strictly HW 
related) should be something set in the lowest layer and be passed on to 
higher software layer so to make it clearer to higher layers that they 
should take it into account ASAP and not as a "retro-fit".

qtlocation doesn't seem to depend on qt3d anymore, but it still depends 
on qtquickcontrols that up to my memory depends on opengl.

thanks
