The rev field is always 0 so it ends up never used. In i915 it was
introduced because of CML: up to rev 5 it reuses the guc and huc
firmware blobs from KBL. After that there is a specific firmware for
that platform. This can be reintroduced later if ever needed.
With the removal of revid the packed attribute in
uc_fw_platform_requirement, which is there only for reducing the space
these tables take, can also be removed since it has even more limited
usefulness: currently there's only padding of 2 bytes. Remove the
attribute to avoid the unaligned access.
$ pahole -C uc_fw_platform_requirement build64/drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_uc_fw.o
struct uc_fw_platform_requirement {
enum xe_platform p; /* 0 4 */
const struct uc_fw_blob blob; /* 4 10 */
/* size: 16, cachelines: 1, members: 2 */
/* padding: 2 */
/* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
};

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
