I am also hitting this with upstream. Reverting d02117f8efaa ("drm/ttm: remove 
special handling for non GEM drivers") also fixed it for me.

The change log for that commit reads:

    drm/ttm: remove special handling for non GEM drivers
    
    vmwgfx is the only driver actually using this. Move the handling into
    the driver instead.

I wonder if Nouveau might actually have been using this somehow too?
