[PATCH v6 05/13] drm: nova: Add chipid enum to nova-drm UAPI

From: Alistair Popple

Date: Wed Sep 09 2026 - 02:54:54 EST


The chip identifier uniquely identifies a GPU chip and needs to be
exposed to user-space so it can look up chip specific properties that
cannot be derived from the architecture alone. This adds a public enum
to the userspace headers for each chip ID. Nova-core can then use this
enum to define its chipsets.

The values are opaque to user-space. They may be compared against the
enum to identify a chip but user-space must not assume the values carry
any particular meaning or encoding.

This does create a coupling between nova-drm and nova-core whereby
nova-core depends on the values defined by the user-space API for
nova-drm. However this is entirely appropriate as nova-core must be
bound by the UAPI headers as the enum values are read by nova-core and
passed through to user-space.

Note that nova-core currently refers to the chipid as a chipset. This
isn't ideal given that chipid is the preferred and more accurate term
and is what should be exposed via the uAPI. Therefore a future patch
series will be posted that aligns nova-core internals to using chipid
rather than chipset.

Changes since v5:

- Re-added. Following discussion an opaque chipid is exposed alongside
the architecture in place of the implementation.

Changes since v4:

- Dropped in favour of exposing architecture and implementation.

Changes since v3:

- New for v4, split out from "drm: nova: Add GETPARAM parameter to read
the GPU chipset"
