What part of SW needed for RK3399 is that? To me pretty much all from bootloader to kernel is mainline in various projects and FOSS. So far it was fairly straightforward use mainline APIs trying to make cameras work via ISPs, RGA for image rotation, Hnatro for JPEG encoding in HW, etc. etc.
Very few small bugs here and there that can be easily fixed.
I've seen much worse. TRMs are available. Various other PDFs from Rockchip can be found, too (even some obscure ones about camera calibration, and stuff like that).
