[Nouveau] Nouveau fails to initialize G94GL / Quadro-FX1800 on aarch64 board

Very odd. Perhaps you're trying to run X as non-root and don't have
proper permissions on /dev/dri/card0? It seems like something in

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau/tree/src/nv_driver.c#n400

is failing. Not sure what it would be though. HasKMS is returning
successfully (since no error is printing and you see the interface
version). Will require you to do some debugging, I'm afraid.
