[Nouveau] Nouveau: kernel hang on Optimus+Intel+NVidia GeForce 1060m

[Tobias Klausmann]

Hi,

the system fails to initialize your vbios using secureboot (i had a rare
chance to on my system to witness it again), for now i traced it to
acr_boot_falcon() in
"linux/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/falcon/msgqueue_0148cdec.c" where it
throws -110 which is -ETIMEDOUT. You could try to increase the timeout
and see if it helps something, similar to the following:
