[PATCH] drm/amdgpu:No action needs when VCN PG state is unchanged

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

 



Hi Christian,

Thanks!

I add this check for VCN DPG/DPG PAUSE mode implementation.

Do you think it is necessary to add for other IP blocks if they need or 
just for VCN only?

Best Regards!

James Zhu
