Nouveau GPU System Processor (GSP) firmware integration that allows making use of NVIDIA’s binary GSP firmware on RTX 20 “Turing” and newer GPUs for having improved support. In turn this GSP route also provides initial support for GeForce RTX 40 series support.
tl;dr some preparation for hopefully better Nvidia open source driver support in the future
I hope they will also upstream blob-lock(firmware needs to be signed by nvidia) bypass.
