[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/7] Rockchip Mali Bifrost GPU support

[Giulio Benetti]

Hello All,

I would like to take over this patchset and re-spin. I only need to know 
if it still makes sense since Lima and Panfrost are available and 
specifically Lima is suggested[1] in place of proprietary sunxi-mali.

If you agree I can rebase, verify and test it on both sunxi and rockchip 
boards.

Thanks in advance and
Best regards
