The "GMU Wrapper" is Qualcomm's name for "let's treat the GPU blocks we'd normally assign to the GMU as if they were a part of the GMU, even though they are not". It's a (good) software representation of the GMU_CX and GMU_GX register spaces within the GPUSS that helps us programatically treat these de-facto GMU-less parts in a way that's very similar to their GMU-equipped cousins, massively saving up on code duplication. The "wrapper" register space was specifically designed to mimic the layout of a real GMU, though it rather obviously does not have the M3 core et al. To sum it all up, the GMU wrapper is essentially a register space within the GPU, which Linux sees as a dumbed-down regular GMU: there's no clocks, interrupts, multiple reg spaces, iommus and OPP. Document it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
