We should definitely apply this, and as far back as the code exists, since the SW is touching non-existent registers, and that is presumably undefined behaviour, which could potentially cause hard-to-diagnose bugs. Besides, I want the mainline kernel to run on our simulator without having to maintain patches for fixed issues. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
