Patch Review

The largest new-code patch. Well structured.

**`BootloaderDmemDescV2` is `repr(C, packed)`**: The `AsBytes` safety comme=
nt says "doesn't contain uninitialized bytes", which is correct for a packe=
d struct with no padding. However, the `packed` attribute means accessing f=
ields creates unaligned references. The code only accesses fields during co=
nstruction (by value) and through `as_bytes()`, so this is fine in practice.

**Mirror image logic**: The comment and code correctly explain the DMA firm=
ware object layout:
```rust
// `BootloaderDmemDescV2` expects the source to be a mirror image of the de=
stination
// and uses the same offset parameter for both.
```
The padding computation `imem_sec.dst_start.checked_sub(imem_sec.src_start)=
` ensures the DMA object layout mirrors IMEM. This is well-documented and h=
andles the alignment requirement.

**`_firmware_dma` field**: The leading underscore is appropriate =E2=80=94 =
this DMA object must be kept alive for the bootloader to DMA from, but the =
driver doesn't directly access it after creation. Good pattern.

**Boot address**: The boot vector computation `u32::from(self.start_tag) <<=
 8` is correct =E2=80=94 tags are 256-byte aligned (matching `MEM_BLOCK_ALI=
GNMENT`).

**Error path in `run`**: The `mbox0 !=3D 0` check and `EIO` return is corre=
ct for FWSEC error reporting.

**`firmware.ucode.0` access**: In `FwsecFirmwareWithBl::new`, the code acce=
sses `firmware.ucode.0` directly:
```rust
firmware_obj.extend_from_slice(firmware.ucode.0.as_slice(), GFP_KERNEL)?;
```
This reaches into the private `FirmwareObject` tuple struct field. This wor=
ks because `bootloader.rs` is a submodule of `fwsec`, but it does bypass th=
e abstraction boundary. Using `firmware.as_slice()` (from the `FalconDmaLoa=
dable` trait) would be cleaner.

**`gsp/boot.rs` changes**: The `chipset` parameter is properly threaded thr=
ough to `run_fwsec_frts`, and the branching logic is clear and correct.

Overall this is a solid series. The main actionable items are:
1. Unchecked addition in `try_as_pio_loadable` (patch 6)
2. `saturating_sub`/`saturating_add` vs `checked_sub`/`checked_add` in V2 h=
eader offsets (patch 9)
3. Mbox patch ordering (7 and 8 are swapped)
