[Freedreno] Whether A200 driver is supported by Linux Mainline Kernel

You shouldn't need stlport for UNIX. As far as I remember it is a stand-alone
implementation of the C++ standard library. Both clang and GCC have their
own state-of-the-art C++ standard libraries readily available.

I'm not sure what is the state of support for the 2D core, the Z160, in
freedreno. I personally will likely not have time to look at that.

Using the 3D hardware makes sense, however. For example the application I'm
working on is also mostly a 2D application, it is built with Qt Quick, which
uses OpenGL ES 2 as rendering backend.
