Use stable mesa-dri-freedreno for Adreno 3xx devices (flo/hammerhead/castor-windy/sirius)

Administrator requested to merge stable-freedreno into master

The Qualcomm Adreno 3xx support in Mesa has now been stable for a while. Newer additions are mainly for newer GPU generations (a5xx, a6xx), so it does not evolve as quickly as it used to. There is also nobody actively testing the mesa-git updates for these devices.

The MSM8916 device ports with Adreno 306 have been using the stable mesa-dri-freedreno for an half year already now, without any problems. Let's switch the other Adreno 3xx devices to do the same.

I think the chances that the stable Mesa version is working is almost higher than the chances for mesa-git (since these devices were tested with older Git versions of Mesa). Nevertheless it would be helpful if someone could test on:

  • asus-flo
  • lg-hammerhead
  • sony-castor-windy
  • sony-sirius

But I think some of these devices, in particular the sony- ones, are currently broken anyway due to https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/issues/430.
