Maybe they're not "mystery blobs," but I think you still need binary blobs with MediaTek chips. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though!
I work in industry with MediaTek chips. We basically have to reverse engineer them to get anything done, because they refuse to give us anything, and what they do give us doesn't work.
