Ok, I was running from Thierry's miniloader which did not program or 
lock these registers.

The question then is: do we have an official nvtboot binary available 
for upstream support? AFAICT Thierry's miniloader solution is the only 
solution available to the public, and without this setup one cannot use 
the GPU on T210.
