Bug#994971: OpenCL not working with latest Nvidia driver

[Pascal Obry]

Package: nvidia-driver
Version: 470.57.02-3
Severity: grave

I'm currently using GNU/Debian sid. The current NVidia driver is
470.57.02-2 and OpenCL is working fine.

$ clinfo 

Number of platforms                               1
  Platform Name                                   NVIDIA CUDA
  Platform Vendor                                 NVIDIA Corporation
  Platform Version                                OpenCL 3.0 CUDA
11.4.94
  ...

There is a new version available 470.57.02-3 and when installed OpenCL
is not supported. clinfo report that there is 0 platform
supported/detected.

I have this issue with kernel 5.10.0-8-amd64 and new 5.14. The only
solution I have found at this point is to revert the NVidia driver to
470.57.02-3 and kernel 5.10.

I cannot tell if this is a kernel issue or an NVidia driver one. Maybe
someone with more knowledge on this area could help finding out.

Thanks,
