** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  We need to support new hardware from AMD and Intel, but backporting support 
to oem-5.13 is very laborous and prone to errors.
  
  [Fix]
- There only sane way to add a better base for the new hw is by syncing the 
whole drivers/gpu/drm directory from current 5.14. We also need to update 
drivers/dma-buf and include a minor abi revert for NVIDIA.

  [Test case]
  Boot current and new hw from AMD & Intel with the new kernel, and also test 
that NVIDIA dkms still builds.
  
  [Where things could go wrong]
- any drm driver could regress, but since v5.14 is already at rc6 this is less 
likely, and for oem-5.13 we mostly care about drm/amdgpu and drm/i915 anyway.
