Public bug reported:
[Impact]
It looks like nvidia-dkms-535 is using a symbol that became GPL-only in
the latest 6.7 kernel, causing the following build error:
# MODPOST <<DKMSDIR>>/build/nvidia/535.146.02/build/Module.symvers
scripts/mod/modpost -M -m -a -o
<<DKMSDIR>>/build/nvidia/535.146.02/build/Module.symvers -T
<<DKMSDIR>>/build/nvidia/535.146.02/build/modules.order -i Module.symvers -e
ERROR: modpost: GPL-incompatible module nvidia.ko uses GPL-only symbol
'screen_info'
This change was introduced by: b8466fe82b79 ("efi: move screen_info into
efi init code")
This happens only on arm64, where the symbol is defined.
[Fix]
Avoid using screen_info in the nvidia-dkms-535 driver.
[Regression potential]
We may disable certain features in the 535 driver, or even have an
unusable driver, unless a proper workaround/solution is provided.
