[PATCH v3 00/10] gpu: nova-core: convert registers to use the kernel register macro

[Alexandre Courbot]

nova-core carried its own helper macro to declare register types. Its
purpose was to be temporary since the beginning, and to serve as a
testbed to develop an equivalent that could be used kernel-wide.

That equivalent has now been merged, so it is time to retire the
nova-core local version.

The kernel register macro has evolved into something significantly
different from the one in nova-core, so it cannot be used as a drop-in
replacement. All declarations and sites using registers need to be
updated. No semantic change should happen as a result.

All the patches in this series could also be squashed into a single one
without altering their reviewability significantly.

I hope to be able to merge this quickly so we can rebase in-flight
series to use the updated register syntax.

This series is based on drm-rust-next as of 2026-03-23 and has been
tested on Turing.

Changes in v3:
- Remove obsolete part of PMC commit message.
- Add { } brackets around const expression used in `Bounded`
  constructor.
- Use `MAX..` arm to `bounded_enum` to catch missing values in the
  required range of the `From` implementation. (thanks Gary!)
- Remove unneeded const asserts that are already caught by `Bounded::new`.
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260320-b4-nova-register-v2-0-88fcf103e8d4@nvidia.com

Changes in v2:
- Reorder register fields in descending order.
- Drop `nv_reg` macro and use the kernel `register` macro directly.
- Make `FUSE_UCODE1_VERSION` registers return a u16 directly.
- Use `into_raw` instead of accessing the inner value of registers directly.
- Use safer macro to generate the `From` and `TryFrom` implementations
  of falcon enum types.
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260318-b4-nova-register-v1-0-22a358aa4c63@nvidia.com
