Please refrain from calling our work a "hack". Me, LongChair and omegamoon have been working on ensuring that Kodi, FFmpeg and LibreELEC runs efficiently on Rockchip using DRM/KMS last few months.
We have direct contact with Rockchip engineers and have been keeping them busy fixing media playback and other issues we report in the rockchip 4.4 kernel. Lots of the kernel improvements we have made ourself should make its way back to rockchip's 4.4 kernel soon.
As for Kodi and desktop support Wayland is going to be the best way forward, all Kodi implementations for xserver I know of is using EGL for video rendering and that will only limit video rendering to the rather slow GPU. The video never hits the GPU when Kodi is running on LibreELEC, the GPU is only used for EGL/GLES rendering of GUI and OSD.
