[PATCH v3 11/13] nova-core: falcon: Add support to check if RISC-V is active

From: Alistair Popple

Date: Tue Sep 30 2025 - 09:17:56 EST


From: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add definition for RISCV_CPUCTL register and use it in a new falcon API
to check if the RISC-V core of a Falcon is active. It is required by
the sequencer to know if the GSP's RISCV processor is active.
