Thanks for the fix!

However, I have some concerns about changing those header files, since they're
just copied over from Nvidia's driver [1].

Once we add the header files for a new firmware revision, we'd potentially run
into the same issue, applying the same fix again.

As I already mentioned for Timur's patch [2], I'd prefer to get a fix upstream
(meaning [1] in this case). Of course, that's probably more up to Timur to tell
if this will work out.

If we can't get a fix upstream, I'd probably prefer to silence warning
elsewhere.
