[PATCH 09/31] gpu: nova-core: factor out a section_name_eq() function
From: John Hubbard
Date: Wed Dec 03 2025 - 01:02:32 EST
Factor out a chunk of complexity into a new subroutine. This is an
incremental step in adding ELF32 support to the existing ELF64 section
support, for handling GPU firmware.
