Hello Rainer! I assume bios just doesn't support some functions that kernel is trying to query. You could try to update bios, if possible. But as you say you don't see any real problems, maybe it's better not to fix something that is working already. I get similar messages on boot (Debian Buster),

I have for some years been running Debian with an older model of AMD GPU (Radeon HD 6870) for graphics. I recently purchased a relatively recent model of GPU (Radeon RX 5700 XT), and today swapped it in and attempted to boot with it. I was expecting to get no graphics support (e.g., X, et cetera)

The issue only occurs with ditros based on Debian Testing, such as Pop!_OS. This does not occur with my Debian Stable. Anyway I solved the initial issue. Apparently, the boot parameter `radeon.dpm=0` solved the initial issue. Apparently, on newer kernels (testing) the boot parameter is automat
