Well, on i.MX6, as far as know, you can't get OpenGL support with a mainline kernel. So even though I definitely support and encourage people to use mainline kernels, I believe for Buildroot defconfigs, it sometimes makes sense to use the vendor kernel when it is absolutely necessary to enable certain important features, like 3D acceleration.
