I had no chance to test it on real hardware for lack of time :-/ so I don't know if it works, and it should not be expected to work. I've compared r8 version of midgard against bifrost and they are pretty different.
I'm pretty sure it works, since I've seen myself the patches from Miquèl allowing to run Qt5/OpenGL on a Rockchip PX30 platform. I'm questioning the terminology/choice of naming.
I'm working on this patchset in spare time[1] with the goal to create a single mali-driver package to deal with Utgard, Midgard and Bifrost. I've already requested to change repository name from mali-bifrost-driver to mali-driver and it's been done plus merging patches to allow building with up to Linux 5.15[2].
Ah, we did this rename?
Thomas, do you want me to send the v2 patchset in[1] to Buildroot mailing list? It's not complete at all, but it's some step forward.
I'm a bit lost with all these renames. We already have sunxi-mali-mainline-driver in the tree, which points to https://github.com/mripard/sunxi-mali. I'm not sure which kernel driver handles which GPU variant.
