It's used by the UMD though they read from 0/*/* when reading the RASTER_CONFIG registers (which may be a bug...)
I only added it because the previous interface was either */*/* or x/y/z (where none are *). Now it supports arbitrary bank selections.

It was something about applying either bit wise "and" or "or" on the resulting bits and returning that to the reader. This way you can check with a single broadcast read if an error occurred or if any of the instances are busy. But if you don't actually use it I suggest to not implement this. Regards, Christian. Am 11.10.2016 um 12:26 schrieb StDenis, Tom: That actually makes sense. It came up because mmPA_SC_RASTER_CONFIG (and _1) are read by libdrm with a selection of 0/*/* for se/sh/instance so I wanted to be able to reproduce that via the debugfs interface for testing. But ya, if you use the broadcast bit who are you reading from then ... hmm..
