Wait - is the VC4/V3D driver open source? I feel like I missed that bit.

So basically, I should just cross compile RPi Linux and Mesa and it should work?

To be honest, I have been confused about the VideoCore driver situation from day 1, but I thought it was a blob.

VC4 and V3D are open source Mesa drivers for VideoCore 4 and VideoCore 5/6 respectively. I don't remember what the proprietary driver is called.
