Sorry for top post. We would need to also need to handle other OEMs like HPE m400. The set is limited but we want to key off the right ID. You could also key off DMI data if it were later in boot. But probably too early at this point. -- Computer Architect | Sent from my 64-bit #ARM Powered phone > On May 8, 2017, at 17:24, Jon Mason <jon.mason@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> On Mon, May 08, 2017 at 01:51:20PM -0700, Loc Ho wrote: >> Hi Jon, >> >>> On Mon, May 8, 2017 at 1:34 PM, Jon Mason <jon.mason@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>>> On Mon, May 8, 2017 at 3:57 PM, Loc Ho <lho@xxxxxxx> wrote: >>>> Hi Jon, >>>> >>>>>> >>>>>>>> The current SPCR code does not check the access width of the mmio, and >>>>>>>> uses a default of 8bit register accesses.
