OK, I'll reply to myself as I found some answers in 
https://github.com/amery/linux-allwinner/issues/19
The right version is r2p4-02rel1-02rel1.
The patch https://dl.dropbox.com/u/65312725/sun4i_fb_ump.patch has not 
been applied to allwinner-v3.0-android-v2 as indicated in the wiki so it 
still needs to be applied, unless I need to use another branch.(I can't 
find wip/allwinner-v3.0-android-v2/mali branch)
