Well, the other thing Ben just posted before leaving is the initial support for GSP in nouveau (now continued by someone else in his team), which means we can finally start doing things like reclocking. With this and other cool stuff like nvk coming up, we finally have a way forward to have a good upstream experience.

With the maintainer having added the ability to re-clock newer cards and the upcoming NVK driver, it may be a possibility in the future.
