Linux 6.7.3 + 545.29.06/550.40.07: ERROR: modpost: GPL-incompatible module nvidia.ko uses GPL-only symbol '__rcu_read_lock'

i get this too but im failing to upgrade from 6.1.0-15-amd64 to 6.1.0-18-amd64 on Debian 12 (bookworm) so at least my machine isnt toast, but i get this while upgrading:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-headers-amd64:
linux-headers-amd64 depends on linux-headers-6.1.0-18-amd64 (= 6.1.76-1); however:
Package linux-headers-6.1.0-18-amd64 is not configured yet.

i get this in my /var/log/nala/dpkg-debug.log:

im reading the nvidia log now and so far I see this:

ERROR: modpost: GPL-incompatible module nvidia.ko uses GPL-only symbol ‘__rcu_read_lock’
ERROR: modpost: GPL-incompatible module nvidia.ko uses GPL-only symbol ‘__rcu_read_unlock’

this is with Nvidia driver version 525.147.05-4~deb12u1
