[PATCH] nova-core: remove an unnecessary register read: HWCFG1
From: John Hubbard
Date: Fri Oct 24 2025 - 21:24:26 EST
This register read is not required in order to bring up any of the GPUs,
and it is read too early on Hopper/Blackwell+ GPUs anyway. So just stop
doing this.

This applies cleanly to today's drm-rust-next.
thanks,
John Hubbard
