The commit is supposed to fix an issue if you build libmali natively. I have not tested it yet.
Mali GPU DDK (rkr34 / rkr35 / rk36 / rkr4.1 / rkr5.1)
To reinforce and document the problem on the X11 > 4G (libmali), maybe someone got a fix somewhere, Jeffy mentioned something about a possible binary hack:

Armbian has a kernel named rkr5.1, is it just cosmetic or is it from the rockchip SDK? How about the mali blob used to run on X11? Where does it come from?
Rockchip SDK r5.1 indeed is a thing and has been released for a while. It is just that I currently can’t get a hold of it because our git mirror is broken, and since we are still on older kernel and userspaces I don’t have much urgency to fix it. One of our BSP developer has the access to Rockchip git repo, so the company can still get the latest kernel updates from Rockchip. But expecting him to manually uploading every repo is a bit too much to ask.
When we need to upgrade the SDK I’ll check if I can get this shit straight, but right now I have higher priorities.
I can confirm the latest Jeffy’s commit fixed the X11 issues on the latest kernel (rkr5.1).

Awesome! Will install on my 3 boards today!
What was your procedure for install? Am attempting to but glmark is still showing panfrost.
It looks like you updated your kernel and now it has panfrost enabled.
I think it is not a good idea to mix both. My kernel has no panfrost enabled.
Reading here and there, panfrost seems to have better performance but libmali is more stable and is transparent to the user if you want to do an update && dist-upgrade.
I use Xfce which is light in most cases.
My kernel config:
> # CONFIG_DRM_PANFROST is not set
