It could as similar code is present in the same nv-drm.c file (although
the other flags are not set):

static struct drm_driver nv_drm_driver = {
    .driver_features = 0,
    .load = nv_drm_load,

But given the lack of hardware I can't confirm whether the same problem
applies.

Should we patch it anyway, or wait for a report?

Kind regards,
