[PATCH v5 09/38] gpu: nova-core: move GPU init and DMA mask setup into Gpu::new()

From: John Hubbard

Date: Fri Feb 20 2026 - 21:13:53 EST


Move Spec creation, the dev_info log, and DMA mask setup from the
driver's probe() into Gpu::new(), so that all GPU-specific
initialization lives in the Gpu constructor.

This restructures Gpu::new() to use pin_init_scope wrapping
try_pin_init!, which allows running fallible setup code (Spec::new,
dma_set_mask_and_coherent) before the pin-initializer. The parameter
type changes from pci::Device<device::Bound> to pci::Device<device::Core>
because the DMA call requires the Core device state.

Also makes Chipset::arch() const, adds Spec::chipset() accessor, and
makes Spec::new() pub(crate) for use by later patches.

No functional change: the same 47-bit DMA mask is applied.
