Oh no, the SDL 2.0 world is much easier because they are already slightly more mobile-oriented. They dropped most of the old-style 2D acceleration, forcing OpenGL everywhere, and are much more EGL friendly (and more crap-mobile-OS *cough* android *cough* friendly by including events such as "EGL context lost").

Depending on how weird the window manager on Mer/Jolla currently is, you will still need to have a Mer/Jolla specific SDL, though. And accelerometer/vibrator need additional consideration. But otherwise nothing HW-specific in there.
