[PATCH 1/1] amdgpu: move asic id table to a separate file

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



FYI.

In amdgpu-pro stack, it helps us that:
  - flexible to maintain the release process. (Add/remove/porting among different release branches)
  - libdrm git log will not be messed up with lots of updating commit
  - also helpful to support customers for such kind of issues.
