Unlike most of the NVIDIA commits we see to Mesa that are around Tegra support, EGL code, or other common bits
Yes those working on Tegra as in Nvidia arm embedded drivers in mesa are already a clean room team. Not saying that embedded team to support more cards directly by Nvidia would not require more team members assigned to it.
Please also note Nvidia has not been putting the resources in the clean room/Tegra team last few years either due to the light amount of work instead because they have been working on other projects for Nvidia. This is partly why the Linux world has just said repeatably to Nvidia just release a GBM driver they have a team they just have to give that team hours to work on stuff with the access to ask the need questions some that may need to go past legal to be answered(amd process).
Yes the 5.9 shot by the kernel into Nvidia might have made Nvidia see that they need to make non closed source kernel driver route workable for the compute route at least because other wise they will be risking market share.
