Does Adreno really have a deferred mode? The documentation I could find only describes tiled immediate rendering.
Edit: I just had another look, pretty sure this is standard Tile-Based Immediate Rendering. The documentation sometimes refers to this as "deferred" probably because copying of the final image values to the RAM is deferred. But "deferred" in TBDR means "deferred shading", not just "deferred memory copy". Adreno does not do deferred shading.
