Patch #1 & #2 are Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@xxxxxxx>

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>.
Thanks!

It sound like you have hardware to test this combination, so could you try
to get it working on for amdgpu as well?
Yes, I have a BE machine that I can test amdgpu with.
However, I only have a Bonaire card. Is it worth doing it for CIK ?
It's only for debug support, no ?

Yeah, CIK support in amdgpu was only for debugging and bringup.

But since it's only shared code you touch when it works with CIK it should work with VI as well and that's rather interesting to us.

Regards,
Christian.


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.
