This is true, the load check only applies to first test. And the patch (5/8) in this series adds the check you are suggesting to allow the second test to proceed (as given below) if (ifsd->ro_info->test_num != IFS_TYPE_ARRAY_BIST && !ifsd->loaded) rc = -EPERM; else rc = do_core_test(cpu, dev); It is possible that the snippet you pasted above was from an earlier state.
