[PATCH v13 2/9] gpu: nova-core: Hopper/Blackwell: add FSP message infrastructure
From: Alexandre Courbot
Date: Wed Jun 03 2026 - 04:09:31 EST
From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@xxxxxxxxxx>
FSP communication uses a pair of non-circular queues in the FSP
falcon's EMEM, one for messages from the driver to FSP and one for
replies, with the driver polling for response data. Add the queue
registers and the low-level helpers used by the higher-level FSP
message layer.
