[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: Copy MEC FW version to MEC2 if we skipped loading MEC2

This looks good to me, I apologize for introducing this issue.
I see the patch has already been submitted to amd-staging-drm-next.

My only concern would be is that MEC2 FW version might still fail to report in the firmware_info debugfs.
I believe the check for adev->gfx.mec2_fw will fail before querying for the version.
The IOCTL FW query interface looks like it will work if that’s the mechanism the app is using.

Other then that, I believe there is no potential side effects of this change.

Thank you,
John Clements

The patch looks good to me. I'd wait for John to approve it as well.

John, if the patch looks good to you, please feel free to apply it to amd-staging-drm-next in your time zone. We're in a hurry because this fix is needed in the next ROCm release. If you believe reporting a fake
MEC2 version would cause problems for graphics, an alternative fix would be to change kfd_gws_init to check the mec_fw_version on Arcturus.

Regards,
