There isn't a single igpu that's used on android phones that has mainline drivers. Pretty much all of them are practically unusable for open source OSes. The most notable exception is adreno which has a more mature reverse engineered driver. Now that their patents expired Qualcomm has contributed a tiny bit too. But other than that the rest still suck.
