I have looked into the OMAP3530 TRM and that one only talks about "the SGX subsystem"
with 2d/3d capabilities. Which would probably mean a single unit - perhaps with different drivers.
So it is questionable if they can be used in parallel.

So since this is confusing, I'd postpone it until we have a better understanding.
