Hi Rashmica,

Just a few nits ...

Your subject: selftests/powerpc: Add test to check is DSCR is corrupted.

Looks like it might want to be "if DSCR is" ?

Thanks for checking that actually makes it work.

That would be worth having in the commit message too, formatted like:

28e61cc466d8 ("powerpc/tm: Fix context switching TAR, PPR and DSCR SPRs")

It's probably time to wrap that line.

This should probably just be:

Spare blank line there.

Don't use tabs there please.

And num_loops can be static.

Can be static.

You have a bunch of trailing whitespace above which woule be nice to clean up.

Please use /* .. */ style comments for multi-line comments.

You have a spare blank line there before the }.

But you need one here after the }.

Spare blank line.

This would usually be:

Usage: tm-dscr [num loops]

I wouldn't bother using argv[0].

The test name should probably be the same as the binary, ie. "tm-dscr".
