4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Yifeng Li <tomli@xxxxxxxx> commit 8a96669d77897ff3613157bf43f875739205d66d upstream. On my Yeeloong 8089, I noticed the machine fails to shutdown properly, and often, the function mach_prepare_reboot() is unexpectedly executed, thus the machine reboots instead. A wait loop is needed to ensure the system is in a well-defined state before going down. In commit 997e93d4df16 ("MIPS: Hang more efficiently on halt/powerdown/restart"), a general superset of the wait loop for all platforms is already provided, so we don't need to implement our own. This commit simply removes the unreachable() compiler marco after mach_prepare_reboot(), thus allowing the execution of machine_hang(). My test shows that the machine is now able to shutdown successfully. Please note that there are two different bugs preventing the machine from shutting down, another work-in-progress commit is needed to fix a lockup in cpufreq / i8259 driver, please read Reference, this commit does not fix that bug.
