Describe the bug

when this issue is solved I face the following issue, randomly by some trial and error I face this issue with open drivers.

would you let me the reason behind the "Cannot initialize GSP firmware RM" issue ?

With the proprietary modules I face only the following issue.

Start with the attached nvidia-bug-report.log.gz and the failure path reported at kernel_gsp.c:3664, using the listed Ubuntu, kernel, GPU, driver, and VBIOS versions to reproduce the boot failure. Trace the invalid FWSEC interface-data error and verify that the GSP firmware RM initializes successfully on every boot.
