[Why] Regression of commit 72fef4980ddf ("drm/amdgpu: Remove writing GRBM_GFX_CNTL in RLCG interface under SRIOV") on GFX9. According to GFX9 VF using different method to access GC registers including MMIO(direct) and RLCG(indirect), removing GRBM_GFX_* writing would make PIPE/ME/VM/QUEUE selection chaos leading to some OCL benchmark failure. For example, using RLCG interface to program GRBM_GFX_CNTL/INDEX for selecting MEC(actually the value is only in scratch2/3), then using MMIO directly program a MEC register in VF driver. The register programming are invalid due to GC switched to incorrect ME. [How] With checking RLCG accessing flag, keep writing GRBM_GFX_* as a legacy way. But it is still skipped on GFX10+ to avoid violation occurrence.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
