Sure, but we need to enable etnaviv support in libdrm first.

On which arm architectures should we enable etnaviv? armel/armhf/arm64
I guess only on armhf since the kernel has enabled DRM_ETNAVIV only on
armhf.

Do we need to enable the imx gallium driver too?

Once stretch is released and Mesa >= 17 is in buster we can do a
backport.
