The GLESv2 backend will work best, because the v1 backend is crippled
by v1's limitations and lack of testing.  And GLESv1 is already
disabled explicitly in EXTRA_OECONF (that this patch should remove).

I'm leaning towards rejecting this as it doesn't serve a purpose,
unless someone can say that they're actually using the GLESv1 backend
(that upstream admits isn't tested).
