Enabling swrast allow to use GLX/OpenGL applications but using software
rendering. IFAIK, swrast is not necessary if you only use EGL/GLESv2
applications. Current Buildroot does not enforce swrast but allows user to
select it if he want. I think it is correct behavior.
In add, personally, I prefer swrast to be disabled so I am sure my GL
applications are hardware accelerated.
