Whether it was clear to you or that OP specifically was asking about the GPU, you shouldn't be so confident in universals like this. In this case, it turns out to be basically false in that the driver for the GPU is closed source:

"however it mentions that it supports OpenGL ES 2.1 API"

Without 3+ you miss out on VAO which IMO is the last GL feature.

There is an open source driver for Vivante GPUs, including the GC400 (or maybe GCNano? and the official docs are oddly vague on what GPU is used and 3rd party sources disagree) used in the STM32MP157: etnaviv. I can't seem to find anything on what's in the STM32MP2 though other than that it supports Vulkan though. Not sure why ST is so tight-lipped on what GPU IP they're using
