[PATCH 3/5] drm/nouveau/mmu/gp100: Remove unused/broken support for compression
Posted by Mohamed Ahmed 2 months, 1 week ago 
From: Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@nvidia.com>

From GP100 onwards it's not possible to initialise comptag RAM without
PMU firmware, which nouveau has no support for.

As such, this code is essentially a no-op and will always revert to the
equivalent non-compressed kind due to comptag allocation failure.  It's
also broken for the needs of VM_BIND/Vulkan.

Remove the code entirely to make way for supporting compression on GPUs
that support GSM-RM.
