OK, well if modules are loaded off the FS and not initrd, then you're good on
that front, assuming you really do have the updated linux-firwmare (April 4 or
later --
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=b14134583c2a15d4404695f72cb523daedb877ab).
Lots of people use initrd without understanding how it works.

So there are two issues here...

#1: we should probably disable reverse prime if you don't have acceleration (or
figure out how to make it work without accel... should just be a very slow
memcpy away... not great, but better than a non-working screen)

#2: we should figure out what's going on with accel on your GP107 -- looks like
stuff is just hanging (that's the "timeout" messages you see, we're waiting for
some condition to become true, and it never does).

I can help with the former, and hopefully Ben Skeggs can investigate the
latter.
