Mali driver for fbdev/kms & wayland? - jacklau - 10-21-2016
I know that Allwinner released mali driver for X, but wayland is more interesting than X, and many linux distribution is switching to wayland.
I can download mali driver for fbdev & wayland for HiKey board from ARM's website. It seen that it's possible for Allwinner to developing a similar mali driver. But will they? Are there any news about this?

AllWinner haven't been very active on the driver front, nor do I think they will be in the near future. It's up to people like this: http://free-electrons.com/blog/support-for-the-allwinner-vpu-in-the-mainline-linux-kernel/ and the force of cooperating sbc communities to make vpu/gpu supprt happen.
