Call SDL_GL_GetDrawableSize() directly because we may be in the initialization path and SDL_GetRendererOutputSize() will fail because the renderer magic isn't set up yet.

When attempting to force use of opengles2 renderer with:
int wanted_renderer = -1;
for (int i = 0; i < numrenderers; i++) {
SDL_RendererInfo renderer_info;
if (SDL_GetRenderDriverInfo(i, &renderer_info) != 0) {
SDL_LogError(SDL_LOG_CATEGORY_APPLICATION, "Couldn't get renderer driver info: %s\n",
SDL_GetError());
quit(2);
}
std::cerr << "Renderer " << i << " '" << renderer_info.name << "': flags=0x"
<< std::hex << renderer_info.flags << std::dec
<< ", " << renderer_info.num_texture_formats << " texture formats, max="
<< renderer_info.max_texture_width << "x"
<< renderer_info.max_texture_height << "\n";
if (!strcmp(renderer_info.name, "opengles2")) {
std::cerr << " selecting!\n";
wanted_renderer = i;
}
}
renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, wanted_renderer, 0);
... on banana pi or raspberry pi I get an error like the following (the actual
context profile value varies, being used uninitialized)
ERROR: Couldn't create renderer: Unknown OpenGL context profile 900
With this patch I get the following, which should help more pointing to a real problem:
ERROR: Couldn't create renderer: Failed getting OpenGL glGetString entry point
I pushed a patch (based on master branch of unofficial git mirror):
550389c89f
I'll be opening a different bug for the underlying issue.

The description of the SDL_RenderClear function in the SDL_render.h header says the following:
"This function clears the entire rendering target, ignoring the viewport."
The word "entire" implies that the clipping rectangle set with SDL_RenderSetClipRect also gets ignored. This is left somewhat ambiguous if only the viewport is mentioned. Minor thing, but let's see what the implementations actually do.
The software renderer ignores the clipping rectangle when clearing. It even has a comment on this: /* By definition the clear ignores the clip rect */
Most other render drivers (opengl, opengles, opengles2, direct3d, and psp [I assume. Can't test it.]) use the scissor test for the ClipRect and don't disable it when clearing. Clearing will only happen within the clipping rectangle for these drivers.
An exception is direct3d11 which uses a clear function that ignores the scissor test.

The OpenGL ES 2 renderer does not check the target texture format when using SDL_RenderReadPixels and just always uses ABGR8888. This can result in swapped or wrong colors.
The attached patch adds a check and selects the target texture format, if a texture is set as the target.

All OpenGL renderers always flip the rows of the pixels that come from glReadPixels. This is unnecessary for target textures since these are already top down.
Also, the rect->y value can be used directly for target textures for the same reason. I don't see any code that would handle the logical render size for target textures. Or am I missing something?
The attached patch makes the renderers only the flip rows if the data comes from the default framebuffer.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
