Subject: [PATCH v6 4/7] gpu: nova-core: refactor SEC2 booter loading into BooterFirmware::run()
Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 22:50:51 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260521-nova-unload-v6-4-65f581c812c9@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260521-nova-unload-v6-0-65f581c812c9@nvidia.com>
From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com>
Move the SEC2 reset/load/boot sequence into a BooterFirmware::run()
method This is mostly refactoring, with no significant behavior change,
done in preparation for adding an alternative FSP boot path.
