[PATCH v12 12/22] gpu: nova-core: Hopper/Blackwell: add FSP secure boot completion waiting

From: John Hubbard

Date: Mon Jun 01 2026 - 23:27:57 EST


Hopper and Blackwell use FSP instead of SEC2 for secure boot. The
driver must wait for FSP secure boot to complete before continuing
with GSP bring-up. Poll for boot success with a 5-second timeout, and
return the FSP interface only on success so that later Chain of Trust
operations cannot run before FSP is ready. The interface owns the FSP
falcon and the FMC firmware.
