Following this message:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg158109.html

and README (lines 53-55):
http://git.arm.linux.org.uk/cgit/xf86-video-armada.git/tree/README?h=un
stable-devel#n55

We built libdrm-armada + xf86-video-armada for Wandboard and it worked
fine.

In yocto project this package also was added:

Lucas, could you please comment on whether libdrm-armada is necessary
for xf86-video-armada or not? Or just libdrm is enough.
