 No, efifb will automagically works if u-boot setup the display (which
it should and did iirc but it's been a while)

 As said above for efifb u-boot needs to setup hdmi etc ... If it's not
done right now maybe some config is needed.
 drm-subtree is needed if one wants 2D accel (but needs code), for 3D we
will need lima ported as this GPU isn't supported by panfrost iirc.

My next step was looking into the drivers itself and as the Linux drivers sources are available here https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip I got some idea how the corresponding driver should look like.

Accodring to https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/RockChip HDMI works for the rockchip rk3399 but I could not find any drivers  neither in the freebsd-src or drm-kmod (I am new to FreeBSD so i don't know if this is even the right place to look for). I hope someone with more technical knowledge about FreeBSD or HDMI can provide me with some guidance on where I have to look and work on.
