It looks nicer though :) I don't mind either way though. Yeah, I just followed the style of the file here. Whether it needs to change or not is not my call. :P >>> + /* Need to figure out how to handle sw for gk20a */ >>> + if (device->chipset == 0xea) >>> + goto skip_sw_init; >> >> The commit message makes it sound like SW isn't needed since gk20a >> "lacks any display hardware". In that case the comment here doesn't make >> much sense. Correct. As far as I have looked (that is, not very far), SW methods are used for display-related functions, but there might be other use-cases too.
