The wayland and xcb extensions are not really supported at the moment in Mesa for powervr, so this kind of use case does not really work yet. For a first test, indeed the Sascha Willems triangle with -DUSE_D2D_WSI=ON is probably best. One thing I can add is that most Wayland compositors use OpenGL for rendering and will only expose linux dmabuf capability if accelerated OpenGL support is found by the compositor. So even if you manage to hack some WSI functionality to be exposed by the Vulkan driver, it still won't work out of the box with regular compositors since there is no zink/OpenGL support yet. There is some experimental Vulkan renderer support in some compositors but last time I tried they hit other limitations due to the early state of powervr Vulkan in Mesa. I did some work related to this and managed to run a Vulkan triangle with Wayland and a modified compositor so far. So at least we could get the client side out of the way soon. But that depends on a Mesa development branch from Imagination which is being heavily reworked, so we need to wait for that rework to make its way into upstream Mesa before making progress on that work being upstreamed.
