I hate to be a party pooper but all the odroids I have, U2, U3, XU & XU3 if I follow the instructions in the first post about:gpu will state "hardware accelerated " but if you scroll down past "version information" it shows me that Mesa is the driver. So its's still software rendering.
A benefit is that webgl pages will run but slowly.
I can't speak for the C1 as I don't have one.
Also my tests (I tried this long ago and retry with most new versions of chromium) have been on Arch Linux so its possible that on another distro it actually gets passed to the mali driver.
I don't even have the mesa egl drivers on my systems but chromium builds it's own version at compile time.
can someone whose done this on the C1 (or indeed got it working on any other odroid) please copy and paste the whole output of about:gpu and also about:version
