[PATCH v2 16/31] gpu: nova-core: add GMC send path
From: John Hubbard
Date: Fri Aug 21 2026 - 21:57:36 EST
The r000 GSP-RM boot protocol requires the driver to send GSP_INIT as a
GMC command. GMC and RPC commands share the command queue and sequence
counter. GMC queue elements carry a GMC API header and no checksum.
Add the GMC send path needed for GSP_INIT.
