As I understand it right now there isn't any Open Source support for the VPU (Mali) used in the A64 SoC.  Bootlin is working on getting Open Source support for the Mali VPU into the Linux kernel.  Support for the Allwinner A64 was a stretch goal for a Kickstarter campaign to add support for the Mali VPU to the Linux kernel.

That being said, I just reread Bootlin's 9/14 posting on their work and I appear to have been confused between VPU support and GPU support.  Their Kickstarter work was for VPU support which is for video processing.  For getting a Desktop to work we appear to need only GPU support which may already be possible.  See below from their posting:  https://bootlin.com/blog/allwinner-vpu-s...e-week-37/

Your Qt QML application is using OpenGL, which requires the GPU. Our project is about supporting the VPU, that helps with video decoding. Hence, unless your Qt QML application does video decoding+rendering, the VPU is totally useless for you.
However, your Qt QML application can already work with the mainline Linux kernel. We have done some integration of the Mali kernel drivers and we provide Mali userspace blobs that work with the upstream Linux kernel. See https://bootlin.com/blog/mali-opengl-support-on-allwinner-platforms-with-mainline-linux/ and https://bootlin.com/blog/more-opengl-binaries-for-the-mali-support-on-allwinner-platforms-with-mainline-linux/ for more details.
