Re: [PATCH 2/2] drm/amdgpu: enable IP discovery by default on navi

auto just means do the right thing for each asic.  For example, if there is a new asic program and the discovery tables are not available yet, for that program, auto means don't use the discovery table.  For other programs where the table is available (e.g., navi10 and 14), then auto means use the table.

Hi Alex,

I see there are many 'auto' module params for amdgpu, could you please explain about the historical intention of using value '-1'?
and shall we check 'amdgpu_discovery' against '-1' for all the code paths in amdgpu_device.c and navi10_reg_init.c?

BR,
Xiaojie

Use the IP discovery table rather than hardcoding the
settings in the driver.
