With the current Emacs:

• Emacs itself (outside Verilog-mode) needs to know .va is a Verilog file. You can either add mode comments inside your file (best) - see https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Choosing-Modes.html
• Or you can set Emacs to know .sv is a verilog file with auto-mode-alist, e.g. see https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/636/how-do-i-automatically-load-a-mode-for-a-specific-set-of-file-extensions

I'm suspecting .va is fairly standard naming for Verilog AMS? If so I can update Emacs itself so future versions of Emacs will recognize .va - presuming it isn't already claimed by another language. Note it would be a while before this propagates to your OS (likely a year or more) so you'd still need the steps above for now.

Yep, already updated the auto-mode-alist:

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\.[ds]?v[ah]?\'" . verilog-mode))

Fixed Emacs sources (not verilog-mode.el itself). Emacs version 27.0 when eventually released will then work out-of-the-box.
