Dear Maintainers,
Hereby I would like to report an apparent bug in the nouveau driver in
linux/6.1.38-2.
Running a current debian stable on a Dell Latitude E6510 with a
"NVIDIA Corporation GT218M" graphic card, the monitor turns black
after the grub screen. Also switching to a console (Strg-Alt-F2) shows
just a black screen. Access via ssh is possible.
~# uname -r
6.1.0-10-amd64
demesg shows the following error message:

I reported this bug to debian already, see
https://bugs.debian.org/1042753 for context.
With support (thanks Diederik!) I managed to figure out that the cause
was a regression between upstream kernel version 6.1.27 and 6.1.38.
I build a new 6.1.38 kernel with these commits reverted:
62aecf23f3d1 drm/nouveau: add nv_encoder pointer check for NULL
fb725beca62d drm/nouveau/dp: check for NULL nv_connector->native_mode
90748be0f4f3 drm/nouveau: don't detect DSM for non-NVIDIA device
5a144bad3e75 nouveau: fix client work fence deletion race
With that kernel the graphic works again.
Please inform me if further tests are required.
Cheers,
Olaf
