Subject: [PATCH v4 5/6] gpu: nova-core: skip the IFR header if present
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 18:31:16 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416233117.1057427-6-ttabi@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260416233117.1057427-1-ttabi@nvidia.com>
The GPU's ROM may begin with an Init-from-ROM (IFR) header that precedes
the PCI Expansion ROM images (VBIOS). When present, the PROM shadow
method must parse this header to determine the offset where the PCI ROM
images actually begin, and adjust all subsequent reads accordingly.
On most GPUs this is not needed because the IFR microcode has already
applied the ROM offset so that PROM reads transparently skip the header.
On GA100, for whatever reason, the IFR offset is not applied to PROM
reads. Therefore, the search for the PCI expansion must skip the IFR
header, if found.
