All Gallium drivers have had ETC2 support for 6 months:

st/mesa: add support for ETC2 formats - mesa/mesa - The Mesa 3D Graphics Library (mirrored from https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa)

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=463b0ea1f6762b7e0536cfadc4e384840af3e8e0

This is as much as radeon can support.

Ilia mainly added the possibility of native ETC2 hardware acceleration for hardware that can do it (not radeon).
