It is not currently supported.

MariaDB gets MyRocks (and RocksDB) from the upstream:
https://github.com/facebook/mysql-5.6/. Both upstream and MariaDB have RocksDB
as a submodule and so are tied to a particular revision of RocksDB.

Using a different revision of RocksDB will typically work, but 
- it is not a tested combination
- it will not necessarily work, especially if you use an older version of
RocksDB than the one that MyRocks used. RocksDB development continues, so 
there may be implicit dependencies that MyRocks at revision X requires 
RocksDB to be at least at revision Y.
