Agreed, but we need r570 in order to support Hopper and Blackwell.  r535 just doesn't support those
GPUs.

The good news is that Nouveau extends support to all GPUs with r570, so distros can replace
r535 with r570 completely[1].  In addition, Nova-Core will also use r570, so we won't need to
support a newer firmware version until whatever GPU comes after Blackwell.


[1] Apparently there's a small Turing bug with r570, and if that can't get fixed in time, then
Turing may need to stay on r535.
