[AMD Official Use Only - General]

The patch you have mentioned, aef17ca12719, sounds like a work-around for a problem found in some Ryzen Threadripper processors.
If I understand correctly, this work-around (aef17ca12719) has been provided as a blanket fix for all the processors.

The Industrial Processor in question is the Epyc3k i3255.
AMD Family 17h (boot_cpu_data.x86)
AMD model 00h - 0fh (boot_cpu_data.x86_model)
Model Name - contains string "3255"

It supports temperature ranging from -40 degree Celsius to 105 deg Celsius.
We have customers' machines running at -20 deg Celsius. They require that the correct temperature be passed to their tools.

Any comments ? I am not inclined to accept this patch as-is. What are the industrial processors ? Is there a means to detect them ?
