Display
Display seems to work fine on all Snapdragon 210 devices using the downstream kernel.
Mainline
There is an experimental mainline Linux port available at https://github.com/msm8916-mainline/linux . WiFi, Bluetooth, Modem work. The main open problem is the display, which is quite different from other Qualcomm SoCs (MDP3 instead of MDP4/MDP5) and needs a new driver in Linux. However, this only applies to devices where the display is connected via DSI, as SPI displays on devices like the Nokia 8110 4G (nokia-argon) are already supported in the mainline kernel and work without MDP3.
