Subject: [PATCH] drm/amd/display: Simplify same effect if/else blocks

The if / else block code has same effect irrespective of the logical
evaluation. Hence, simply the implementation by removing the unnecessary
conditional evaluation. While at it, also fix the long line checkpatch
complaint. Issue identified using cond_no_effect.cocci Coccinelle
semantic patch script.

Please note: The proposed change is compile tested only. If there are any
inbuilt test cases that I should run for further verification, I will appreciate
guidance about it. Thank you.

Preface: I do not know the code.

Perhaps Rodrigo Siqueira made a copy/paste error submitting the code for
commit 9114b55fabae ("drm/amd/display: Fix SubVP control flow in the MPO context")
as the code prior to this change is identical.

Perhaps one of the false uses should be true or dependent on the
interdependent_update_lock state.

Perhaps something like:

if (dc->hwss.subvp_pipe_control_lock)
dc->hwss.subvp_pipe_control_lock(dc, context,
should_lock_all_pipes &&
dc->hwss.interdependent_update_lock,
should_lock_all_pipes, NULL, subvp_prev_use);

Thank you Joe for the recommendation.

Hi Rodrigo,
Can you review and comment on if and what is wrong with your commit?

Hello Rodrigo, Alex,
Could you please suggest what would be the necessary fix for this typo error?

It's not quite a "typo" error. When I look at this code in our internal repo I see
a couple missing lock calls here that differ between the two cases. I don't know why
this was never ported over and am surprised it doesn't lead to issues.

I would prefer we keep the code as-is for now until this gets sorted.

Actually I was wrong. Too many similar-looking snippets in this
function made me look at the wrong thing. This change is fine and

So why was the change made in the first place?

Please explain commit 9114b55fabae.
