Subject: [PATCH v12 09/22] gpu: nova-core: add auto-detection of 32-bit, 64-bit firmware images
Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2026 20:20:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260602032111.224790-10-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260602032111.224790-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com>
A firmware image may be either a 32-bit or a 64-bit ELF, and callers
should not have to know which. Detect the ELF class from the image
header at parse time and dispatch to the matching parser, so a single
entry point handles both layouts.
