It's a Rockchip tablet I'm working with, so for me it should be prefect. It's interesting that the Vivante GPU driver has been removed though, any idea why?

I'd like to see the new drm driver support the Vivante GPUs, but maybe that's beyond its scope and it'll be necessary to create a second driver reusing the rk3xxx code where possible.
