I wouldn't hold out any hope of getting the GPU to work, ARM don't
provide any documentation on it. You can still get the display to
work but it will be just a dumb framebuffer and you only have one
core to drive it.

We don't have a framework for SDIO, even if the WiFi chip has anything
in common with other Realtek devices.
