you can see the difference of function amdgpu_need_post. Generally speaking, there were 2 functions to check VBIOS posting, one considers VF and passthru while the other doesn’t. In fact we should always consider VF and PT for checking, right? For example, this checking here believe VF needs a posting because SCRATCH registers are not the expected value. Is it clear?
