Nvidia doesn't support RTD3 on non-laptops

[jeremyszu]

According to Nvidia README, the RTD3 doesn't support on non-laptop machine.

https://github.com/tseliot/ubuntu-drivers-common/issues/55

We need to check chassis type before enabling RTD3.

---

[Impact]

 * According to Nvidia README, the RTD3 (Runtime D3) doesn't support on non-laptop machine
 * Patch make system not enable RTD3 unless it's a laptop

[Test Plan]

 * Install Ubuntu on machine
 * Install GPU driver via 'ubuntu-drivers install'
 * On laptop with Nvidia RTD3 supported GPU. The configuration file '/run/nvidia_runtimepm_supported' will be created

[Where problems could occur]

 * With non-laptop machine use RTD3 supported GPU may use more power

@Alberto,

Could we SRU apply this version to focal?

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Thanks for uploading the fix for this bug report to -proposed. However, when reviewing the package in -proposed and the details of this bug report I noticed that the bug description is missing information required for the SRU process. You can find full details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure but essentially this bug is missing some of the following: a statement of impact, a test case and details regarding where problems may occur. Thanks in advance!

Tested on desktop and notebook machine with Nvidia graphic card. On notebook machine (chassis type 10), configuration file '/run/nvidia_runtimepm_supported' is created. On desktop (chassis type 3) machine did not generate the configuration file. Only notebook machine will enable runtime PM.

Hello! Thank you for setting the tags! I see that you have included all the necessary verification information in the other bug (i.e. LP: #1943816), but please be sure to include verification details in EVERY bug that is part of an SRU. Just switching the tags is not enough.

I'll release it conditionally this time.

Install Focal on HP EliteOne 800 G6 All-in-One (202008-28167). Enable focal-proposed channel, install nvidia with "sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia" then reboot system. Check system is in on-demand with "prime-select query". Since this machine has all-in-one in chassis type, only enabled off-load mode and disabled RTD3.
