Hi,

During PCH manufacturing a global reset has to be induced in order
for configuration changes take affect upon following platform reset.
This setting was commonly done by accessing PMC registers via /dev/mem
but due to security concern /dev/mem access is much restricted, hence
the reason for exposing this setting via dedicated sysfs interface.
To prevent post manufacturing abuse the register is protected
by hardware locking.

could you please define "manufacturing" ? The chip or board ?

Is there any use for this, after the machine left the factory ?
