[PATCH REF 22/24] gpu: nova-core: unregister sysmem flush page from Drop
From: Danilo Krummrich
Date: Mon Apr 27 2026 - 18:17:32 EST
Now that SysmemFlush can borrow the Bar via HRT lifetime, store a &'a
Bar0 reference and implement Drop to automatically unregister the
sysmem flush page. This removes the need for manual unregister() calls
and the Gpu::unbind() method.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260409-fix-systemflush-v1-1-a1d6c968f17c@xxxxxxxxxx/
