An update that has two fixes can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for kernel-firmware-nvidia-gspx-G06, nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed
fixes the following issues:

Changes in kernel-firmware-nvidia-gspx-G06:

  * update firmware to version 545.29.02

Changes in nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed:

  * Update to 545.29.02
  * added fbdev=1 option for nvidia-drm module, which gives us a proper
    framebuffer console now ...
  * nosimplefb kernel option no longer needed with usage of nvidia-drm's fbdev=1
    option
  * nvidia's NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus=1 option no longer needed;
    GeForce and Workstation GPUs now officially supported
  * support added for H100/H800 GPUs (Hopper)
  * no longer try to overwrite NVreg_OpenRMEnableSupporteGpus driver option
    setting; apparently it's ignored by the driver (boo#1215981, comment#26)
  * use different modprobe.d config file to resolve conflict with older driver
    package (boo#1217370); overwrite NVreg_OpenRMEnableSupporteGpus driver
    option setting (disable it), since letting it enabled is supposed to break
    booting (boo#1215981, comment#23)
