I hacked the look-up-tables in the Mesa PowerVR driver to match the
values of the other GX6250. I know there must be some minor
differences, but I don't know what they are right now.
I also had to tweak src/imagination/vulkan/pvr_device.c again to the
following:
DEF_CONFIG("renesas,r8a774a1-gpu", "renesas,du-r8a774a1"),

I am not positive that is the correct thing to do, but with that, I
can now run vulkaninfo.
I know that it's not fully Vulkan compliant yet, but it appears there
is some progress:

Layers: count = 2
=================
VK_LAYER_MESA_device_select (Linux device selection layer) Vulkan
version 1.3.211, layer version 1:
Layer Extensions: count = 0
Devices: count = 2
GPU id = 0 (Imagination PowerVR Rogue GX6250)
Layer-Device Extensions: count = 0

GPU id = 1 (llvmpipe (LLVM 15.0.7, 128 bits))
Layer-Device Extensions: count = 0

VK_LAYER_MESA_overlay (Mesa Overlay layer) Vulkan version 1.3.211,
layer version 1:
Layer Extensions: count = 0
Devices: count = 2
GPU id = 0 (Imagination PowerVR Rogue GX6250)
Layer-Device Extensions: count = 0

GPU id = 1 (llvmpipe (LLVM 15.0.7, 128 bits))
Layer-Device Extensions: count = 0


I then tried to redndr with vkgears, but it didn't redner. When I run
vkgears, I get the following:

I have tried running in X.org mode instead of Wayland, but I get a
different set of errors:

I think I am close.
