[PATCH v2] platform/mellanox: mlxreg-lc: Fix logic error in power state check
Posted by Alok Tiwari 3 months, 1 week ago
Fixes a logic issue in mlxreg_lc_completion_notify() where the
intention was to check if MLXREG_LC_POWERED flag is not set before
powering on the device.

The original code used "state & ~MLXREG_LC_POWERED" to check for the
absence of the POWERED bit. However this condition evaluates to true
even when other bits are set, leading to potentially incorrect
behavior.

Corrected the logic to explicitly check for the absence of
MLXREG_LC_POWERED using !(state & MLXREG_LC_POWERED).

Fixes: 62f9529b8d5c ("platform/mellanox: mlxreg-lc: Add initial support for Nvidia line card devices")

Thank you for your contribution, it has been applied to my local
review-ilpo-fixes branch. Note it will show up in the public
platform-drivers-x86/review-ilpo-fixes branch only once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.
