a quick look at the mmap syscall and I see the mmio size argument is 0:

mmap(NULL, 0, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 3, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

and using a dirty fix:

flashrom -dirty on Linux 6.1.0-21-arm64 (aarch64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org

Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).

From what I read, it appears that this NVIDIA open source driver is just a driver that gives access to the GPU for computing purposes. It is not a display driver. So you still need to choose between reverse engineered nouveau drivers, or binary-only drivers.
