That bug was corrected thanks to NVidia answers about how some specific
registers worked.

The NVidia team working on Tegra K1 support in Nouveau is growing and they are
quite active. A bit more documentation was released last month - see
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/nouveau/2015-January/019759.html. It
might be slow, but they seem to head in the right direction. Let's see in
September how the first two years went since they started releasing some
documentation / contributing code.
