Right, but you're reading them now even if you don't have to. So why are you even changing this? What's wrong with doing: if (!dct_ganging_enabled(pvt)) { amd64_read_dct_pci_cfg(pvt, 1, DCLR0, &pvt->dclr1); amd64_read_dct_pci_cfg(pvt, 1, DCHR0, &pvt->dchr1); } which is much clearer than doing the family check. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. -- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
