Re: [Nouveau] [PATCH v3 0/4] nouveau RPM fixes for Optimus (final)

Ping, would it be possible to get some acks and merge it for 4.8?
Current -next is broken (on modern laptops as expected) and these series
fix the issues according to an IRC report.

The audio issue mentioned below should not give issues, modern laptops
do not seem to expose the audio device by default
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75985). On Windows the
audio device only appears after inserting the HDMI/miniDP cable (my
laptop has no other connectors), enabling the card for rendering
purposes has no effect on the availability of the audio device.

Kind regards,
Peter
