I just checked, the path to the file changed, in 3.14 you need to
replace "/nvkm/" with "/core/". However given that all entries in
the switch/case are nearly identical, there are great chances for
this patch to be applied at the wrong positioni (it targets 0x46),
I guess someone who owns this hardware should provide the backport
after testing it to ensure it applies at the right position and
really works.
