Right. The following code may be more appropriate.
static bool is_valid_cpc_ffh_reg(const struct cpc_reg *reg)
{
return reg->address == CPC_FFH_CTR_CORE ||
reg->address == CPC_FFH_CTR_CONST;
}
int cpc_read_ffh_fb_ctrs(int cpu, struct cpc_reg *reg1, u64 *val1,
struct cpc_reg *reg2, u64 *val2)
{
struct amu_ffh_ctrs ctrs;
int ret;
if (!is_valid_cpc_ffh_reg(reg1) || !is_valid_cpc_ffh_reg(reg2))
return -EINVAL;
ret = counters_read_on_cpu(cpu, amu_read_core_const_ctrs, &ctrs);
if (ret)
return ret == -EOPNOTSUPP ? -ENODEV : ret;
cpc_ffh_ctr_value(reg1, &ctrs, val1);
cpc_ffh_ctr_value(reg2, &ctrs, val2);
return 0;
}
