Torque dark shade on some devices (Mali-450 MP GPU)

[jaakla]

Device: ALE-L21 (Huawei P8 lite), device OS: 5.0.1 or 6.0 SDK 4.0.0-rc.3: Build: android-176|(HEAD detached at f6de9b3)|release/v4.0.0-rc.2-27-gf6de9b3 , time: Dec 19 2016 22:14:15

Found workaround for similar issue on some other Mali GPU devices (driver bug), fixed that in RC3. Need actual device to reproduce the issue. It is possible that no sensible workaround exists.

Log from another device (Philips Android TV) with same issue. It seems to have same Mali-450 MP GPU,.

More devices with same GPU and issue (from AWS device farm test):

• Amazon Fire (2015) 5.1
• Intex Aqua Y2 Pro 4.4.2 (GPU: Mali-400 MP1?)
• Samsung Galaxy J1 Ace 4.4.4 (Mali-400MP2)
• Samsung Galaxy J1 Duos 4.4.4
• Samsung Galaxy Light (MetroPCS) 4.4.2
• Samsung Galaxy S DUOS 3 4.4.4
• Samsung Galaxy Star Advance 4.4.2

Just a note - the sample uses 'lighten' comp-op, which needs GL_EXT_blend_minmax extension. Seems that though reported to be supported, it is actually broken on the listed devices. A workaround was implemented in 4.0.0RC3 that helped with at least one device, but did nothing on the other devices. Marking currently as wont-fix.
