Re: [PATCH] drm/i915/gsc: GSC firmware loading

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

 



Diffed the patches and reviewed the changes -- i.e. the use of the worker for the gsc fw loading cmd submission.
All looks good - just a few nits below.

Alan: Nit: I see you've put the -EEXIST back again - not sure if we need it. I'm marking this as Nit simply because we
dont consumer the return value from where its being called - but its still weird that we are returning an error in the
case where FW is already there so we skip loading and allow normal operational flow (not error-ing out).

Alan: Nit: not sure if we should explain in the comments how we can already find the gsc-fw pre-loaded (IIRC, it could
be a prior driver unload that didn't do the FLR?).

Alan: alphabetical ordering?  (not sure if this is a hard rule, for me its a nit)

Alan: Nit: would ne nicer to call it gsc_load_worker unless there maybe future plans to expand this worker's scope.

Alan: nit: would be nicer to call it "load_worker" unless the future plan is to expand the scope of what else that
worker could be used for.
