For patch #3:

Couldn't we just in a loop go over all the dw in the IB and swap them after
writing them? That would simplify the patch massively.
I guess we could do that, however I made the fix similar to the same
code in the uvd module (See radeon_uvd_get_create_msg() for example)

And line like the one below just look a bit odd to me:
         for (i = ib.length_dw; i < ib_size_dw; ++i)
-               ib.ptr[i] = 0x0;
+               ib.ptr[i] = cpu_to_le32(0x0);
Same remark as above. I added it in the last second before sending the
patch just to be similar to uvd code. I guess maybe it is to remind
people to do it if they ever change that zero value to something else
???

Alternatively a helper function adding DW to an IB with swapping could do it
as well.

Don't you think its an overkill ? It's just a few places in the code.

Yeah, true indeed. Ok then let's just stick with the coding style like it is in radeon_uvd_get_create_msg().

So the patch is Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@xxxxxxx>.

It sound like you have hardware to test this combination, so could you try to get it working on for amdgpu as well?

Shouldn't be to much of a hassle, since amdgpu only supports CIK and VI generation for now and I think we never enabled the hardware swapping in amdgpu.

Thanks in advance,
Christian.


Regards,
Christian.
