See the other mail; they'd have to be defined directly (as they
currently are in git) instead of via macros (as in patch 1).
Hmm, how about
static inline bool intel_is_platform(const struct drm_i915_private *dev_priv,
enum intel_platform platform)
{
return dev_priv->info.platform == platform;
}
and doing
#define IS_FOO(dev_priv) intel_is_platform(dev_priv, INTEL_FOO)
manually for the ones we actually use (we don't need them all)? If the
function is inline, I don't see how defining N similar functions instead
of passing in the parameter would be more efficient. And you could still
do the optimizations of patchs 3/3 AFAICS.
Suitable compromise?
BR,
Jani.
