Getting back Intel MCDI with Braswell NUC on 10.0.1?

I'm currently running a NUC5CPYH:

Previously (LE9, maybe? 8?) I was able to get motion-compensated deinterlacing, and maybe even mpeg2 hardware decoding. Currently I can get neither.

Following other suggestions, I tried a /storage/.config/kodi.conf with:

Code

MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965

as well as only

LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965

Neither showed any difference in the driver being loaded when looking at the X logs. Is this old driver still available on 10.0.1? Sorry about the formatting, this editor is not working with me. Thanks.

For those keeping score at home, I switched back to LE 9.2.6 and was able to regain mpeg2 HW decoding and all the VAAPI deinterlacers, including my preferred motion-compensated (MCDI). Perhaps in the future the new Intel driver will support this older hardware, but I'm not holding my breath.
