[PATCH v3 4/7] drm: nova: Add GETPARAM parameter to read the GPU chipid

From: Alistair Popple

Date: Thu Jul 23 2026 - 02:36:24 EST


One of the first things a user needs to know about a GPU is its chipid,
so add a GETPARAM parameter to return that.

Signed-off-by: Alistair Popple <apopple@xxxxxxxxxx>

Changes since v2:

- Split out enum definition into its own patch
- Change uAPI to use chipid rather than chipset

Changes since v1:

- Vertical import
- Use a single enum for chipset values
