This will prevent TS from being used, which has a large performance impact. But it shouldn't be necessary to disable it on the i.MX8MM GPU, as all memory accesses aside from the initial MMU commandstream go through MMU translation, so the issue with MC1.0 will not be hit. Can you try patching out the check in the kernel and see if it helps? I'll also send a proper patch for this.
