[PATCH v3 2/3] gpu: nova-core: move GPU static information acquisition to a GSP method

From: Alexandre Courbot

Date: Wed Jun 17 2026 - 09:27:55 EST


The GSP static information is useful during regular driver runtime;
however it is currently obtained from `Gsp::boot`, with no elegant way
to pass it back to the caller.

Solve this by moving the code acquiring it to a dedicated method of
`Gsp` that can be called as soon as the `Gsp` is booted. This allows us
to obtain and display the static information from the `Gpu` constructor,
and to store the static information for later use.

Its location at the end of `Gsp::boot` was a bit out-of-place anyway:
technically, the GSP is considered booted after we have received the
`GspInitDone` message, so anything that happens afterwards is not part
of the boot sequence anymore.
