MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for nvhda-dkms-git [2]:

Orphaned VCS package, deprecated and discontinued project. Package
disowned in 2020.

This was a Linux kernel module to turn on HDMI audio
on NVIDIA GPU hardware.

The driver support for such audio output has been
mainlined: added to Linux kernel 5.4.

Therefore this DKMS module is obsolete, it cannot
add further functionality to the kernel.

Also it has stopped being developed in 2020
because of the above-mentioned redundancy.

This package is not needed anymore. Safe to delete.
(If some people have issues with HDMI audio
on NVIDIA GPU's, it is either because of a
misconfiguration or an upstream bug, but not
because of something that this package could
solve on Linux kernel 5.4 and up.)
