No, didn't help either:

nouveau0: info: gr: using external firmware
firmware_open(nouveau/nvidia/gm206/fecs_inst.bin) called too early.
nouveau0: autoconfiguration error: error: gr: failed to load fecs_inst


$ ls -1 /libdata/firmware/nvidia/gm206/
bl.bin
fecs_bl.bin
fecs_data.bin
fecs_inst.bin
fecs_sig.bin
gpccs_bl.bin
gpccs_data.bin
gpccs_inst.bin
gpccs_sig.bin
sw_bundle_init.bin
sw_ctx.bin
sw_method_init.bin
sw_nonctx.bin
ucode_load.bin
ucode_unload.bin

Also, the code in firmware.c looks like it reports a different problem:

        if (cwdi0.cwdi_cdir == NULL) {
                printf("firmware_open(%s/%s) called too early.\n",
                        drvname, imgname);
                return ENOENT;
        }

That's before the function is even trying path lookups - cwdi0 doesn't
seem to be filled in enough yet. All the lines are before wd0 is even
detected (I'm not sure if that's necessary, but that's where / lives).
