i.MX 8M Plus (GC7000UL) only reports OpenGL ES 2.0 via Mesa etnaviv — path to ES 3.0/3.1?

System info:
- Board: i.MX 8M Plus
- GPU: GC7000UL
- Driver stack: Mesa `etnaviv` (open-source)
- `eglinfo -B` reports: OpenGL ES 2.0 only
- Application: Chromium/CEF 133, using ANGLE, requesting an ES 3.0 context

Issue:
Per the datasheet, GC7000UL supports ES 3.1/3.0, Vulkan, and OpenCL 1.2, but etnaviv on this board only exposes ES 2.0.  and the Chromium/CEF's ANGLE backend fails to get an ES3 context and falls back to an ES2 path, which in turn falls back to software rendering. I'm looking to get actual GPU hardware acceleration working, not just an ES2 workaround.

- Would like to stick with the open-source Mesa/etnaviv stack rather than the proprietary Galcore driver, if possible.
- Open to upgrading `CEF` versions if that unlocks hardware acceleration on this GPU.

Happy to share further build details if useful. Thanks!

Hi @mineshp 

Issues with open-source GPU drivers are not covered by NXP's support. Thank you for your understanding.
