Ok, I am now trying this:

/usr/src/linux> grep FIRMWARE /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP=y
# CONFIG_GOOGLE_FIRMWARE is not set
CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="nvidia/gp107/gr/sw_nonctx.bin"
# CONFIG_CYPRESS_FIRMWARE is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_LOAD_EDID_FIRMWARE is not set
# CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID is not set
# CONFIG_TEST_FIRMWARE is not set

Best
