I updated https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Compatibility/Software_for_using_MediaWiki#Mobile_browsers and linked to it on Extension:MobileFrontend.
Feel free to edit and improve it. I didn't make the compatibility table as specific as the desktop one because I don't think we have all that information (when we dropped/added support for specific browsers). I assumed that reading/navigation was supported since the first release (1.15, as it was stated previously) and that we decided which modern browsers to support around 1.22.
