doc: >-
  DRM RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) over Generic Netlink.
  Provides a standardized mechanism for DRM drivers to register "nodes"
  representing hardware/software components capable of reporting error counters.
  Userspace tools can query the list of nodes or individual error counters
  via the Generic Netlink interface.

definitions:
  -
    type: enum
    name: node-type
    value-start: 1
    entries: [error-counter]
    doc: >-
         Type of the node. Currently, only error-counter nodes are
         supported, which expose reliability counters for a hardware/software
         component.

attribute-sets:
  -
    name: node-attrs
    attributes:
      -
        name: node-id
        type: u32
        doc: >-
             Unique identifier for the node.
             Assigned dynamically by the DRM RAS core upon registration.
      -
        name: device-name
        type: string
        doc: >-
             Device name chosen by the driver at registration.
             Can be a PCI BDF, UUID, or module name if unique.
      -
        name: node-name
        type: string
        doc: >-
             Node name chosen by the driver at registration.
             Can be an IP block name, or any name that identifies the
             RAS node inside the device.

        doc: Unique identifier for a specific error counter within an node.
      -

        type: string
        doc: Name of the error.

      name: list-nodes
      doc: >-
           Retrieve the full list of currently registered DRM RAS nodes.
           Each node includes its dynamically assigned ID, name, and type.
           **Important:** User space must call this operation first to obtain
           the node IDs. These IDs are required for all subsequent
           operations on nodes, such as querying error counters.
