I patched libMali.so and now driver and Kodi are working. But I experience periodic segfaults in libc. I do not know the reason yet.es2gears works, but glmark2-es2 raises an exception:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
what(): basic_string::_S_construct null not valid
Aborted

Copy code

Mali is for "3D" acceleration, games and such crap.
