Ubuntu Touch suggests that this will use Halium most likely, which is good for features, but ... it's not mainline.

Although: Thanks to Chromebooks, there are now a few Mediatek SoCs with okay mainline support. But while the Helio G99 seems quite similar to the Kompanio 520 at first glance, they are quite different, sadly.
