My main usecase for the Raspberry Pi is using it as a HTPC with Libreelec. As long as the driver is not able to support the video decode/HDMI/etc. features in a sufficient quality it's useless for me.
I guess that the driver won't be completed in this area ever because the Raspberry Pi with a VC4 is already too old.
