Interesting that there are other Mali Midgard drivers available for this platform. I wonder if I would be able to compile and use them.
It is Mali Bifrost, not Midgard on Cosmo. For using with Panfrost, the problem is that it is kernel 4.4 and has no DRM driver for display subsystem (CONFIG_DRM could be enabled though to allow your DisplayLink module to load).

I looked into running mainline kernel a bit, MT6771 seems to be closely related to MT8183 MediaTek had been mainlining for Chromebooks. I got it to boot to ramdisk with USB host based on MT8183 support, but getting the display will be likely problematic still.
