According to the documents, the i.MX8M-Mini features a GC320 and a
GCNanoUltra GPU core. Etnaviv detects them as:

	etnaviv-gpu 38000000.gpu: model: GC600, revision: 4653
	etnaviv-gpu 38008000.gpu: model: GC520, revision: 5341

This seems to work fine more or less without any changes to the HWDB,
which still might be needed in the future to correct some features,
etc.

Since not everyone uses the 3D or 2D, would it make sense to mark them
as disabled by default and let people who need the 3D and 2D enable
them at their respective board files?

No, devices on the SoC with no external dependencies should be always
enabled.

The board has much less influence over whether the GPU is being used
than the specific use-case. While the board designer may not even think
about using the GPUs (because no display connector present or something
like that) people using the board may still find uses for the GPU, like
doing video pipeline color space conversions or something lie that.

Lucas

I would rather keep it the way it has been done for other SoCs. Looking 
at the i.MX6 devicetrees, they all seem to have the GPUs enabled by default.

Ah, I had missed Lucas reply. He already provided much better arguments 
for keeping the GPUs enabled by default.
