The nouveau driver does not seems to identify the Nvidia chipset in the 4.15
kernel. But it seems to load the firmware from linux-firmware, and load the
driver.

[Witherspoon-DD2.2][Ubu 18.10] [4.18.0-7-generic ] OS booting thrown
with nouveau errors; OS booted successfully

Bug description:
SRU Justification
Impact: Missing firmware for nouveau is causing errors to appear in
dmesg.
Fix: Add missing firmware files from upstream linux-firmware.
Test Case: Confirm that errors in dmesg are gone once new firmware
files are present.
Regression Potential: New and updated firmware always has potential to
cause regressions, however this firmware has been in disco for several
months with no reported issues.

Well, I think those message mean that the nouveau module can't find
the firmware file as opposed to it being a FW issue. Might be a
packaging issue if this is actually not causing any real issues.
Probably best to mirror this to Canonical for their comment.
