| skiboot-5.2.2 |
| ============= |
| |
| skiboot-5.2.2 was released on Thursday May 5th, 2016. |
| |
| skiboot-5.2.2 is the third stable release of skiboot 5.2, the new stable |
| release of skiboot, which will take over from the 5.1.x series which was |
| first released August 17th, 2015. |
| |
| Skiboot 5.2.2 replaces skiboot-5.2.1 as the current stable version, which was |
| released on April 27th, 2016. Over skiboot-5.2.1, skiboot 5.2.2 contains |
| one bug fix targeted at P8NVL systems, notably the Garrison platform. |
| |
| skiboot-5.2.2 contains all bug fixes as of skiboot-5.1.16. |
| |
| This is the second release that will follow the (now documented) Skiboot |
| stable rules - see :ref:`stable-rules`. |
| |
| Over skiboot-5.2.1, the following fixes are included: |
| |
| P8NVL/Garrison |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| - PHB3: Fix corruption of pref window register |
| On P8+ Garrison platform, the root port's pref window register might |
| be not writable and we have to emulate the window because of hardware |
| defect. In order to detect that, we read the register content, write |
| inversed value and read the register content again. The register is |
| regarded as read-only if the values from the two continuous read are |
| same. However, the original register content isn't written back and |
| it causes corruption on pref window register if it's writable. |
| |
| This fixes the above issue by writing the original content back to |
| the register at the end. |
