Found that myself (a Device section with Driver set to "nouveau"):

    $ xrandr  --listproviders
    Providers: number : 1
    Provider 0: id: 0x68 cap: 0x7, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 5 associated providers: 0 name:nouveau

And yes, the cursor looks good in v5.11 even without reverting the commit.
