[PATCH v9 4/9] gpu: nova-core: falcon: remove FalconFirmware's dependency on FalconDmaLoadable
From: Alexandre Courbot
Date: Thu Feb 12 2026 - 03:32:45 EST
Not all firmware is necessarily loaded by DMA. Remove the requirement
for `FalconFirmware` to implement `FalconDmaLoadable`, and adapt
`Falcon`'s methods constraints accordingly.
