[PATCH RFC 09/18] accel/qda: Add QUERY IOCTL and basic QDA UAPI header

From: Ekansh Gupta

Date: Mon Feb 23 2026 - 14:24:27 EST


Introduce a basic UAPI for the QDA accelerator driver along with a
DRM IOCTL handler to query DSP device identity. A new UAPI header
include/uapi/drm/qda_accel.h defines DRM_QDA_QUERY, the corresponding
DRM_IOCTL_QDA_QUERY command, and struct drm_qda_query, which contains
a DSP name string.

On the kernel side, qda_ioctl_query() validates the per-file context,
resolves the qda_dev instance from dev->dev_private, and copies the
DSP name from qdev->dsp_name into the query structure. The new
qda_ioctls[] table wires this IOCTL into the QDA DRM driver so
userspace can call it through the standard DRM command interface.

This IOCTL provides a simple and stable way for userspace to discover
which DSP a given QDA device node represents and serves as the first
building block for a richer QDA UAPI in subsequent patches.
