Awesome, I tried to get it working yesterday but couldn't. Good work!

Yes, I was able to reproduce the issue. My X -verbose output:

No clue. I was looking and the error is in the VC4_SUBMIT_CL ioctl cmd
handler (vc4_submit_cl_ioctl) in drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_gem.c.

AFAIU bo_handle_count is supposed to always be > 0 but somehow mesa is
passing 0 on it.

The ioctl call is in vc4_flush (src/gallium/drivers/vc4/vc4_context.c)
in mesa. So it seems this is a mesa issue. I've asked Eric Anholt in
#dri-devel on IRC if his kernel is supposed to work with mesa 10.5.8
or if there is a minimum version / sha1 that is needed.
