🌸 NAME 🌸

intel_uc_fw_init_early — sets up the uC object and chooses the firmware, no cap ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void intel_uc_fw_init_early (struct intel_uc_fw *uc_fw , enum
       intel_uc_fw_type type , bool needs_ggtt_mapping );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• uc_fw — the uC firmware, aka the main character of this function 🫶
• type — which type of uC we're working with.
• needs_ggtt_mapping — whether the FW needs to be GGTT mapped for loading. A very important little bool 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture it: this function initializes the state of your uC object and all the relevant tracking, then it selects the firmware to fetch and load. It's giving "get the setup cute and ready" energy, periodt.
