X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7c50d748b4a635bc39802ea3f6b120e66b1b9067;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

gpu: nova-core: firmware: factor out an elf_str() function

Factor out a chunk of complexity into a new subroutine. This is an
incremental step in adding ELF32 support to the existing ELF64 section
support, for handling GPU firmware.
