Hi,


I think there's a "gpu: " missing in the subject.

Apple calls these co-processors ASC but I'm not sure that's really helpful to describe them. Maybe just "GPU coprocessor control registers"?

Like Alyssa mentioned, this description also raises more questions than it answers for me. Do we know what these two blobs contain or why they are two separate blobs?

No need for the include for this example.
