Open-Source NVIDIA "Nouveau" Driver Sees Few Changes For Linux 5.20

I use a GTX 780 Ti on a Trisquel system using Nouveau. For those wondering gaming can be possible if you're ok with lowest settings at 1080P. I've benchmarked a few out of curiousity. Super Tux Kart for instance runs at 70-90 FPS on lowest. Tomb Raider 2013 gets 18-32 FPS on lowest; Grid Autosport gets 73-140 FPS on lowest; Red Eclipse 2.0 gets around 40 FPS on lowest; 2D games and visual novels are fine. I would love Vulkan support not just to play Windows games but also to be able to play newer FOSS games like Veloren which is Vulkan only.

Oh, and Nvidia, release the Maxwell/Pascal firmware FFS. You've already released the Ampere firmware. What's the holdup?

It's just two guys doing it anyways, in the best case scenario it'll just be a driver just to show to Torvalds and say "see NVIDIA kernel driver is used by an open source one!' so that NVIDIA doesn't have to do any of the hard work.
Plan is likely for Nouveau to use NVIDIA's kernel driver so it can be upstreamed and then NVIDIA can keep their own userspace driver closed source.
