Subject: [RFC 1/3] gpu: nova-core: Add auxiliary bus registration data to nova-core
Date: Fri,  3 Jul 2026 16:45:24 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703064526.3630668-2-apopple@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260703064526.3630668-1-apopple@nvidia.com>

Nova core will be used to export core functionality to other drivers
which will bind to it via auxiliary bus devices. To access methods on
the nova-core GPU add an AuxData module and type which will implement
the required methods and hold a reference to the associated GPU.

Create an instance of this type when registering the GPU on the auxbus
for use as the auxbus registration data.
