Test results, tested on kudu6, thelio-mira-b1 (nvidia 2080), and thelio-r1-6 (nvidia 710)

NOTE with the 710 the system did not resume from suspend. Attaching journal log showing kernel oops with driver.

Tested with 22.04, 21.10, 20.04 on orpy4. All test passed with the exception of fractional scaling on an external display. Also and this seems specific to the orpy4 the external display must always be set to the same scaling as the built in display or it gets cut off e.g., if the built in display is 100% and the external is 200% the external will be cut off. This is also a larger cutoff than was seen with the 510 driver. This is just to be noted as it is not a regression.

22.04, 21.10, 20.04 on gaze15 all testing passed with the exception of fractional scaling on an external display over mDP. HDMI fractional scaling is working fine still.

On gaze17-3060-b everything passed except for fractional scaling which doesn't work on HDMI or mDP.

Tested 22.04 and 20.04 on thelio-r1-6 with nvidia 710 no issues.

Considering the 470 driver is mainly to support the 710, and that the 710 probably can't handle high resolution monitors needing fractional scaling, is this a game breaker?

Passed testing on Pop and Ubuntu 22.04 on the galp5-1650Ti

Fractional scaling worked over HDMI on this system with either OS, but I do not have USB-C to DisplayPort to test with.

Fractional scaling is for high pixel density, not necessarily high resolution. That said, I think that sounds reasonable. I think we can approve and merge this, then release it on Monday.
