The problem is not reverse engineering, but having to reverse engineer.

  i should have clarified that i was asking why Mali is more terrible than Adreno, MediaTek, etc. AFAIK, all embedded GPU drivers have to be reverse engineered and none are open source. as you mentioned, it looks like Tegra might have some open-source contrib from the mfg.

    The VC4 (RPi GPU) drivers were written by an open source contributor (Eric Anholt) who was employed by Broadcom to do that.

      After many many years of petition from the community to even release documentation on the VC4.
