Ack, thanks. To stay consistent with the surrounding code I'll use:

	if (unlikely((flags & DRM_AUTH) && drm_is_primary_client(file_priv))) {
		/* authenticated ones, or render capable on DRM_RENDER_ALLOW. */
		if (!file_priv->authenticated &&
		    !drm_render_driver_and_ioctl(dev, flags))



Btw, if you can skim through the IGT test that would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Emil
