It fixes a issue hidden in: 95 static bool igp_read_bios_from_vram(struct amdgpu_device *adev) 96 { 97 uint8_t __iomem *bios; 98 resource_size_t vram_base; 99 resource_size_t size = 256 * 1024; /* ??? */ 100 101 if (!(adev->flags & AMD_IS_APU)) 102 if (amdgpu_need_post(adev)) 103 return false; This makes bios reading fallback to SMC INDEX/DATA register case. â??
