I will skip this patch and use your implementation then. Btw,
shouldn't the source file for the GK20A implementation be named nvea.c
instead of gk20a.c?

For the Maxwell stuff I've been using "gm107" now too. Since we're
working with you guys these days it seems better to use the same names
for things ;)

So would you like us to use the same naming scheme as well? So far all
my patches use "nvea.c" whenever I need to add code.

If it's not too much of a problem at this point, then that'd be good.
Right before I send -next for the next merge window I'll likely do a
mass rename anyway, so if we can get your patches merged before then
(which would be really good!), it doesn't matter much.

No problem, I will update the naming to follow what you did with the
timer driver and gm107.

Hopefully I will soon manage to carve out some time to rebase these
patches and send v2.
