Subject: [PATCH v5 01/11] gpu: nova-core: Add public driver API to nova-core
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 13:35:21 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828033531.1117754-2-apopple@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260828033531.1117754-1-apopple@nvidia.com>

Nova core will be used to export core functionality to other drivers
which will bind to it via auxiliary bus devices. Add a NovaCoreApi type
which drivers can use to call nova-core methods.

Auxiliary bus drivers can obtain a handle to call nova-core methods on
a particular GPU using NovaCoreApi::of(). This takes a reference to a
bound auxiliary bus device and returns a handle to NovaCoreApi.

Signed-off-by: Alistair Popple <apopple@nvidia.com>

Changes since v4:

 - Move the `_reg` field declaration, since it must be dropped before
   `gpu` to satisfy the safety requirements of holding a reference to it.

Changes since v2:

 - Add accidentally dropped TODO comment

Changes since v1:

 - Rework unsafe pin-init to make safety comments clearer, suggested
   by Danilo.
 - s/allow(dead_code)/expect(unused)/
