One slight concern with the is.foo is whether it complicates finding things with eg. cscope. But I suppose for platforms that doesn't matter all that much. For the has_foo stuff it'd be much more relevant.

So I haven't yet. I just still have that slightly uneasy feeling about whether this is a good thing or not. That doesn't usually make me shy away from things, because you can fix stuff later, but getting this wrong causes so much churn everywhere. The fact that it's not a macro makes it less flexible for future changes. The display->is.FOO is somewhat legible, but could be better. Would all lowercase make it better? I don't know. More alternatives? Not elegant for sure, but just alternatives: - Lowercase names: if (display->is.rocketlake) Does not help with flexibility or cscope. - Lowercase macros for display, e.g. is_rocketlake(). if (is_rocketlake(display)) - Macros based on just the platform name, e.g. ROCKETLAKE(). if (ROCKETLAKE(display)) or change IS_ to something else e.g. PLATFORM_ROCKETLAKE(). if (PLATFORM_ROCKETLAKE(display)) But that can get a bit long in some if ladders etc. - Go through the trouble of making the existing IS_FOO() macros _Generic and accept either i915 or display pointer. This does postpone making any further changes, but fairly soon there will need to be two sets of macros, separate for i915 and display, even though named the same. Also, the _Generic thing would look up the platform definitions from different places, which could be error prone. Yeah, procrastination... BR, Jani.

I think those would be the exception, particularly because platform checks are kind of rare these days. grepping for LUNARLAKE in xe reveals only 2 users (+ few workarounds), because wherever we can we check by graphics/display version rather than platform. Then simply using something similar to what we already have in xe, would be great IMO: if (display->platform == PLATFORM_LUNARLAKE) it may be verbose, but shouldn't be much used to matter in the end.

Well, they're maybe the exception for new platforms, but i915 display does have to deal with a lot of legacy with a lot of platform checks. > grepping for LUNARLAKE in xe reveals only 2 users (+ few workarounds), > because wherever we can we check by graphics/display version rather than > platform. i915 display has only one use of IS_LUNARLAKE(), but there are 1k+ other uses of IS_<PLATFORM>.

The downside with that is that you can't deal with subplatforms as easily. It becomes if (display->platform == PLATFORM_LUNARLAKE || (display->platform == PLATFORM_ALDERLAKE_P && display->subplatform == SUBPLATFORM_ALDERLAKE_P_ALDERLAKE_N)) or similar. Definitely not a fan.

There are a lot of annoying exceptions for new platforms as well. Feels like most features are doing some kind of weird leap frogging between integrated vs. discrete these days. So most new features seem to require an exception one way or the other :(

Definitely not a fan. unless the subplatform already includes the platform? But well, I also don't have a good suggestion here. The '.is' struct is strange indeed, but at least covers all the past and future strange cases. But I also wouldn't mind if we decide to get the verbose path, but try to at least making the subplatform already infering the platform in a way that this case could only be: if (display->platform == PLATFORM_LUNARLAKE || display->subplatform == SUBPLATFORM_ALDERLAKE_P_ALDERLAKE_N) or perhaps do in a way that we don't even need the subplatform struct? if (display->platform == PLATFORM_LUNARLAKE || display->platform == SUBPLATFORM_ALDERLAKE_P_ALDERLAKE_N) > > > BR, > Jani. > > > > > > Lucas De Marchi > > > >> > >>- Go through the trouble of making the existing IS_FOO() macros _Generic > >> and accept either i915 or display pointer.

For example, RPL-S: if (display->platform.alderlake_s_raptorlake_s) But the main platform also matches its subplatforms: if (display->platform.alderlake_s) This is the same as with the patches at hand.

If it's a bitmask, you need a way to nicely check for it instead of having it everywhere. The alternatives are using a macro, or using bitfields - which is exactly what the patch at hand does.

Double-checking: do you want both s/is/platform *and* lowercase? if (display->platform.alderlake_s_raptorlake_s) Mulling over this I've ended up preferring lowercase. (Maybe need to do something to pretty print them to logs.) And just the platform without "is_" prefix, i.e. *not*: if (display->platform.is_alderlake_s_raptorlake_s) BR, Jani.

(Maybe need to do > something to pretty print them to logs.) I believe that I like the lowercase more too. We could have a map for the debug prints, but I would delay this, because that could end up in discussions with marketing brand strings... :/ > > And just the platform without "is_" prefix, i.e. *not*: > > if (display->platform.is_alderlake_s_raptorlake_s) I like the version without 'is' better... > > > BR, > Jani. > > > -- > Jani Nikula, Intel
