amdgpu/pm: Clarify documentation of error handling in send_smc_mesg
Clarify the smu_cmn_send_smc_msg_with_param documentation to mention two cases exist where messages are silently dropped with no error returned. These cases occur in unusual situations where either: 1. the message type is not allowed to a virtual GPU, or 2. a PCI recovery is underway and the HW is not yet in sync with the SW For more details see commit 4ea5081c ("drm/amd/powerplay: enable SMC message filter") commit bf36b52e ("drm/amdgpu: Avoid accessing HW when suspending SW state") (v2) Reworked with suggestions from Luben & Paul (v3) Updated wording as per Luben's feedback Corrected error stating all messages denied on virtual GPU (each GPU has mask of which messages are allowed) Signed-off-by: Darren Powell <darren.powell@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Luben Tuikov <luben.tuikov@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com>
