Commit 457e77b264 added two checks applied to a
value received from nv_rd32(bios, 0x619f04). But after this new piece of code
is executed, the addr local variable does not hold the same value it used to
hold before the commit. Here is what is was assigned in the original code:
(u64)(nv_rd32(bios, 0x619f04) & 0xffffff00) << 8
in the committed code it ends up with this value:
(u64)(nv_rd32(bios, 0x619f04) >> 8) << 8
These expressions are obviously not equivalent.
My Nvidia video card does not show anything on the display when I boot a
kernel containing this commit.
The patch fixes the code so that the new checks are still done, but the
side effect of an incorrect addr value is gone.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
