+	  This package builds and installs the Linux kernel driver for
+	  the Mali GPU on Allwinner platforms, compatible with recent
+	  Linux kernels (>= 4.4). Note that it should be installed
+	  together with the corresponding userspace OpenGL libraries,
+	  which are provided as binaries only at:
+	  https://github.com/free-electrons/mali-blobs
+
+	  sunxi-mali-mainline-driver requires a Linux kernel >= 4.4
+	  with the following options enabled:
+
+	  - CONFIG_CMA
+	  - CONFIG_DMA_CMA
