Yes, you are right, I am getting them too. Specifically, the error 256 one. I am also seeing a “spurious native interrupt” as the cable is connected:
[ 4030.360765] pcieport 0000:00:08.3: PME: Spurious native interrupt!

[ 4031.520546] ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: GET_CABLE_PROPERTY failed (-5)
I’m seeing the same messages on my FW16, BIOS 3.03 (I think they may have started after the BIOS update), also running Arch. 2 USB-C cards in the back, 2 USB-A in the middle and MicroSD and audio cards in the front.
The messages normally occur three times:

When all non-USB-C expansion cards are removed, with a charger plugged in during boot, it only happens once:

Jun 02 17:54:32.853169 lotusdroid kernel: ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: GET_CABLE_PROPERTY failed (-5)
This also happens whenever I plug in the charger, regardless of whether the other expansion cards are inserted.
Were you running Linux 6.9 (or any of its release candidates) before the BIOS upgrade?
I’m also getting this issue on my brand new FW16 running standard Arch. I updated to the newest BIOS and some other error messages went away but I’m still getting these. It also pops up again if I unplug/replug the power cable (in port 1). All in all the laptop seems to be functioning OK but it would be nice to figure out how to fix these errors.
Yes, although I’m not entirely certain the errors didn’t happen before the BIOS update.
I can add more context here for my situation. I was running a brand new minimal arch installation with linux kernal 6.9.3 and bios 0.3.2 and was definitely getting this error and this is still occurring for me on the same kernal version on bios 0.3.3. I’m poking around and doing my own research and will post back here if I find anything.
I’m also getting this on my FW16:

I was in batch 17 so I only just got it a few days ago and it’s been coming up with this message out of the box. I’m running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on kernel 6.9.3 and bios 3.03. I tried reflashing the bios before I realised it was already on the latest and unsurprisingly it didn’t change anything. At first I wasn’t too worried about it, but I just had something really worrying happen:

Correlation isn’t causation and all that, but that’s a little too close for comfort. I’m wondering if this is actually causing real hardware issues.
Can’t say for sure, but I really doubt it. The ucsi_acpi messages seem to have been added in Linux 6.9 as a part of USB-C capabilities detection and surfacing through sysfs. Prior to that, if I understand it correctly, the related data points were not exposed through sysfs at all. I don’t see any way how failure to detect those capabilities would be related to either nvme, or the filesystem.
In any case, it appears that the USB-C cable capability detection added in 6.9 doesn’t work at all on FW AMD. Would be interesting to know the reason.
@Mario_Limonciello , is that something you are seeing as well?
Yeah, that’s fair. I doubt it’s doing any harm to the hardware too, and I was a little imprecise. I meant to include things like driver issues in when I said “hardware issues”
To me the messages are issues with the EC or PD controller. It’s more likely PD controller, because I believe EC just passes the messages from OSPM back and forth in this case.
Can confirm that this issue is present with kernel 6.9.5 on Arch.

I also have this message @Fedora40.
In addition to that, I observed the following problem:
USB-C Card in slot 1 has no display output. I attached a USB-docking (Anker) and this works except the video output. Then I tested around and it is not possible to get video out of this port, even with direct USB-C to HDMI cables… The USB-C card in port 3 works fine with dock and cable. Any suggestions?
Same issue here
not sure about boot time, but after reboot, all 4 usb ports (2-C, 2A) works fine
after some period of time, all stop working.

appears when plugging in devices.
PD works fine, can identify 5A cable. but the error messages still pop.
When this happens, some devices still works,
My FWLT13 AMD outputs video via a USB-C to HDMI cable on port 1 fine with Windows. Maybe you need a more up-to-date Linux kernel?
FWIW, I have the same error on the latest Linux kernel AND with that kernel, I can’t get both of my external monitors to work at the same time, only one. They somehow get detected but no display signal is sent to 2nd one. Both monitors are connected via a Lenovo Thunderbolt 3 Dock.
Downgrading to the 6.6 LTS kernel fixes that issue.
Same. Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen 7040Series) arrived recently. Running Tumbleweed. Wonder if it is causing my other (minor) issue:
“Battery at 99%, plugged in but still discharging” message pops up intermittently, but then says “Fully charged”.

Same. Laptop 13 (intel core ultra). Running either Rocky (with 6.11.6-1.el9.elrepo.x86_64) or Fedora. The issue is that it prevents me from using a device connected to it through USB-C directly. Bios is updated to 3.04 beta.
If I use a USB-C to USB-A dongle and a USB-A to USB-C to my device instead of USB-C to USB-C, it is working.

Is there any way to disable this behavior from the bios (I do not really need the PD directly, I would rather have a stable connexion).
Any updates on this issue, I get this problem also and it makes using external monitors via USBC to HDMI work irregularly. (Essentially when I see this the error the monitors are black but the os shows them as though they are there).
