Interesting. The only write I see to that register is in the GM107 fan control logic. This is not used for GM200+, as controlling the fan can't be done anymore, except via secure firmware means. So ... my *guess* is that this is a write failure that happens as a result of the firmware that gets loaded, which is not supplied by nouveau. (Always preferable to blame someone else...) Can you get a dmesg with nouveau.debug=trace which should place that error more exactly in the initialization flow.
Created attachment 142762 [details] GM206 nouveau.debug trace journalctl -b -1 --no-hostname -o short-monotonic | grep nouveau
Created attachment 142763 [details] GM206 nouveau.debug trace2 Once again, because the first one was without -b -1 parameter, so without closing nouveau. journalctl -b -1 --no-hostname -o short-monotonic | grep nouveau

I do think it's the secure firmware doing this.
