I have a dedicated nvidia gpu on my laptop that I enable and disable. nvidia (proprietary) driver is loaded and unloaded accordingly

My thinkfan.conf has section

sensors:
  - nvml: 03:00.0
    optional: true

but when gpu is off and nvidia driver is offloaded, I get

ERROR: Failed to initialize NVML driver. Error code (cf. nvml.h): 28

on thinkfan start
