And... despite typing the stable ML address quite often, I still got it
wrong. Need more coffee.
thx,
Jason.
arm-soc folks,
Sorry for the lateness in the window on this one. I'd like to see it
get into v3.13 if possible, but if it doesn't get there till v3.13.1, I
understand.
This fixes a boot hang experienced on some Openblocks AX3-4 boards.
Once i2c transaction support was added, it was discovered that the A0
revision of the Armada XP had broken offload support which causes the
kernel to hang at boot. The only way to detect this situation is to
read the PCI config register to get the SoC revision, then disable
offload if we are on an A0 SoC.
Unfortunately, this makes for a rather large patch series against
stable. Doing the fix in a smaller patch would create a runtime
dependency between i2c and PCI which we prefer to avoid.
I'm Cc'ing Greg and linux-stable as a heads-up, and so they can comment
or ask questions.
thx,
Jason.
