I was curious to see Nova probe on my laptop equipped with a TU117M
GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile. I compiled with your patchset applied on drm-next
and downloaded the latest linux-firmware.git.
However, NovaCore fails to probe my device with the following logs :

Is this expected to happen ? Here is the full device description from
lspci :
