I wonder if this is somehow related: 206653 – i2c_nvidia_gpu takes too long time and makes system suspend & resume failed with NVIDIA GTX 1660 card

According to this
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206653
is purely a cosmetic issue. Should not influence the performance, but still they look ugly being there.
My proposal would be to try a different kernel

Is EOL.
Also, have you tried the nvidia 455xx driver ?

It is not listed for me, do I need to enable the testing branch?

Ah, sorry … i’m on two unstable installs and i missed the part that still all this needs more testing, but yet is not in testing. You can try to switch the kernel tho.

On my system I had similar issues.

What I ended up doing was blacklisting the module.
Blacklisting the nouveau driver wouldn’t be a bad idea either since you are using nvidia’s driver.

the ucsi_ccg module is for the USB Type C port on the graphics card, so if you don’t use it, try blacklisting it to check if it solves the issue.

[user@box ~]$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf  
blacklist ucsi_ccg
blacklist nouveau

Reboot and let us know.
Just my 2 cents though :wink: !

quick shot in the dark: if you are facing an i2c issue in combination with nvidia you might try to
blacklist i2c_nvidia_gpu

It will disable the USB onboard of the GPU card
