The GPU doesn't have a closed driver that works either.

It's been a year for the JH7110 too, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

On Vision Five 2 everything is still softpipe in the official Debian from Star Five!

On the PineTab-V NOTHING involving the 3D part of the GPU works!

YouTube works for consumption, but that's not interesting for production.

To write/film a review of a SoC with GPU without running glgears is backwards.

I think the only hope now is for the upstream to gain a working driver in a year or two.

PowerVR driver is already part of mesa3d mainline[0].

Some definitions for the variant used in JH7110 have been added recently, but it's not yet operational.

Seems pvr is only vulkan?
mesa3d also has Zink, which implements opengl, opencl and gles on top of vulkan.
