This is a 5-patch series cleaning up `IS_ERR()` vs `IS_ERR_OR_NULL()` usage in the nouveau GSP RPC code, targeting alignment between error checks and actual function return-value contracts.

**The functional changes (patches 2-5) are already applied on drm-next**, which is why the patches don't apply cleanly. These may have been applied from an earlier version or independently. Only patch 1 (documentation) would be additive, but it contains a significant misplacement bug.

**The cover letter claims "Added Fixes tags to all patches"** in the v2 changelog, but none of the patches actually carry any `Fixes:` tags.

The return-value analysis in the cover letter is largely correct. One concern: the cover letter correctly identifies `r535_gsp_msgq_recv()` as able to return NULL (via the `WARN_ON(rpc->length > max_rpc_size)` path at rpc.c:299-300), but the series doesn't address the existing `IS_ERR()` check of its return value in `r535_gsp_msg_recv()` (rpc.c:465-466 on drm-next). If that NULL path ever fires, the subsequent `rpc->rpc_result` access would be a NULL pointer dereference. This is a pre-existing latent issue, not introduced by this series, but it's worth noting given the series explicitly analyzed this function's return contract.
