According to Phoronix, there seems to be a big update on the Pi DRM/V3D kernel improving performance which will soon be in mainline.
Does this apply to LibreElec code?

The current rpi-6.6.y kernel in LE12 images contains earlier iterations of the same changes. Once upstream merges the patches that are submitted to the mailling list the pi devs typically revert earlier changes and backport the now-merged ones to keep the kernels in sync. Then LE will pick the merged changes up in a future kernel bump.
NB: I wouldn't expect any noticeable performance increases. Rendering the 2D Kodi GUI is a simple task compared to the complex 3D game graphics used for the benchmarks.

Does not benefit hardware accelerated video decoding?
It accelerates transmission between DRM and MMU. So it's independent of hardware acceleration.
-
V3D is only for the Kodi GUI?
There's a hint in the name .. "3D" .. it's the mesa driver, nothing to do with video decoding.
