Thank you for your understanding.
My vendor only provides armv7a compiled libmali userspace driver but I would like one for aarch64.
The Linux kernel: 6.12.44-348, running aarch64 (but with a 32-bit userspace). I need it as I want to run a 64-bit userspace. Recompiling kernel to use mesa is not possible as its locked down.
The current driver is:
libmali.so.0.46.0: 1.5 Valhall-"r46p0-01eac1" for Mali-G510 (GLES)
/dev/mali0 detected as 0xa0a0703 r0p0 status 0
I already tried my luck with r46p0-01eac1 from here and it didn't work;

Is there any solution to this please? Why are the drivers so fractured compared to say nVidia, AMD etc? Why not release a unified version?
Vendors generally add on their specific requirements on top of the "general" driver, which is why you usually need the vendor-specific version.
What sort of device are you trying to update the driver on? Who is the vendor?
