Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: fix pending powernow timer stuck condition
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0213df74315bbab9ccaa73146f3e11972ea6de46;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

[PATCH] cpufreq: fix pending powernow timer stuck condition

AMD recently discovered that on some hardware, there is a race condition
possible when a C-state change request goes onto the bus at the same
time as a P-state change request.

Both requests happen, but the southbridge hardware only acknowledges the
C-state change.  The PowerNow! driver is then stuck in a loop, waiting
for the P-state change acknowledgement.  The driver eventually times
out, but can no longer perform P-state changes.

It turns out the solution is to resend the P-state change, which the
southbridge will acknowledge normally.

Thanks to Johannes Winkelmann for reporting this and testing the fix.
