It doesn't, maybe I'm just confused, the driver has a certain
complexity and I don't claim to have a comprehensive understanding :)
If I understand correctly find_match() is used to find a sequence of
commands of length 'len' in the command cache. If that is correct I
would expect it to do the following:
1. iterate through the commands in the command cache and find a
command that matches the first command in the sequence
2. verify that the (len - 1) subsequent commands match those in the
sequence, otherwise bail out
If I'm not mistaken the current version of find_match() only checks
that the first command exists. After that it happily increases the
command index, but doesn't perform any checks (after finding the first
command 'tcs->cmd_cache[i] != cmd[0].addr' remains false for the
subsequent values of j). When j reaches (len - 1) the function
returns the index of the first command in the cache, regardless of
whether the other commands match or not.
Please correct me if I'm just confused, I think the negative logic of
'tcs->cmd_cache[i] != cmd[0].addr' doesn't help the readability of the
code.
