If open source userspace (nouveau_dri.so) never used it, then you can
freely change it. Backwards compat guarantee in drm is only for open
source userspace (and by implication ofc anything that uses the ioctl
the same way). See:

https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/gpu/drm-uapi.html#open-source-userspace-requirements

On that topic, do we have the nouveau patches to enable the
egl_android extension for this already published?

Yeah, this was some good fun getting it all sorted in i915 too :-)
