Linux Kernel ACPI Probe Warning Dropping Vulnerability in Nouveau GSP

A vulnerability has been addressed in the Linux kernel's stable branch, specifically within the Nouveau graphics driver. This issue involves the removal of unnecessary WARN_ON statements in ACPI probe functions for the GSP-RM support on certain NVIDIA GPUs. These warnings were frequently triggered and, after evaluation, deemed harmless. The change aims to streamline the code without introducing risks.

Impact

The removal of the WARN_ON statements in the ACPI probes for the Nouveau GSP component eliminates unnecessary warning triggers, which could have caused confusion or misinterpretation during ACPI handling. This change ensures a smoother operation without the distraction of benign warnings.
