Since commit 99aa29932271 ("arm64: dts: imx8mn: Enable GPU")
imx8mn-venice-gw7902 will hang during kernel init because it uses
a MIMX8MN5CVTI which does not have a GPU.
Disable pgc_gpumix to work around this. We also disable the GPU devices
that depend on the gpumix power domain and pgc_gpu to avoid them staying
in a probe deferred state forever.

Disabling the blk-ctrl also makes it so you cannot use a display
and/or CSI camera. I don't know the application, so it's likely OK.

I do not quite follow on this. i.MX8MN integrates a GPU, and
MIMX8MN5CVTI is built on i.MX8MN, correct? If so, how comes
MIMX8MN5CVTI doesn't have a GPU?

Is this an indication that GPU should be disabled in imx8mn.dtsi and
enabled board by board?

It's a fused-down variant of the i.MX8MN that has the GPU disabled by
fuses.

There's a trade-off here: most boards will probably use the full
variants that include the GPU, so probably less boards will need to
disable the GPU, as done here, than boards that need to enable it when
the base DT disables the GPU.
Same story as with the i.MX6 where there are some SKUs that disable the
VPU by fuses: we enable it in the base DT and if you happen to build a
very low-cost board that uses the fused-down version you need to
disable it in the board DT.

Thanks, Lucas!
