Thank you for your report.

This is a known issue. For some, upgrading to the latest kernel seems
to fix it.

This is irrelevant. Libreboot does not use option ROMs, but the i915
graphics drivers still looks for one even though it isn't needed in
this case. That's why it finds an invalid signature; nothing to worry
about.

The i915 error is benign, as you suspected.
