'git log crypto/modes/cbc128.c', 'git log crypto/modes/gcm128.c' tell
the story. Alternatively you can browse trees at git.openssl.org and
look at histories for files in question.

No. Once validated, FIPS module does not change. Relevant question in
this case is whether or not can you ignore the warnings. Or more
specifically if it's *safe* to ignore. Well, nobody can give you
guarantees (it's simply prohibitive to verify machine code), but I'd say
that as long as tests pass...
