Are you suggesting that every armv7 device should have their mesa tuned
for freedreno and freedreno added to their filesystem? That seems quite
overly-broad!

On the surface[1] it would seem as though the decisions as to how one
builds mesa and which graphics solution to install is more similar to
the decision as to which DEFAULTTUNE to use, rather than which
architecture is involved?
