[PATCH] gpu: nova-core: gsp: tu102: keep unloading if FWSEC-SB fails

From: Alexandre Courbot

Date: Sun May 31 2026 - 08:37:44 EST


On Turing and Ampere, resetting the GSP involves running two firmware
images: FWSEC-SB and Booter Unloader. They are independent from one
another, and we should do whatever is possible to restore the GSP's
unloaded state even if a failure occurs along the way.

Thus, keep going and run Booter Unloader even if the execution of
FWSEC-SB failed.

This was caught by Sashiko; I unfortunately noticed it after pushing the
series, but having it as a follow-up is beneficial regardless as it
allows more time for review.
