The VBIOS image update flow requires userspace to:
1) Write the image to `psp_vbflash`
2) Read `psp_vbflash`
3) Poll `psp_vbflash_status` to check for completion
If userspace reads `psp_vbflash` before writing an image, it's
possible that it causes problems that can put the dGPU into an invalid
state.
Explicitly check that an image has been written before letting a read
succeed.

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.
