The Linux 6.7 merge window saw the surprise integration of Nouveau GPU System Processor (GSP) firmware, allowing improved support for NVIDIA's binary GSP firmware on RTX 20 "Turing" and newer GPUs, including initial support for GeForce RTX 40 series. The GSP firmware takes over GPU initialization and power management, potentially easing the bring-up of future NVIDIA GPU generations and improving power management for Nouveau. However, the closed-source nature of the GSP firmware and its lack of ABI stability pose challenges for the open-source Nouveau driver. Nonetheless, this marks a significant step forward for Nouveau DRM kernel driver in terms of supporting recent NVIDIA GPUs.
