Hi Conor, Thank you for the patch.

Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Dave, could you check the impact on the Raspberry Pi kernel ? It seems to be shipping the incorrect sequence unconditionally. Any information about what the 12 undocumented MSRs that are programmed by the driver do would be appreciated too ;-) > --- > I got the report of this third hand, I don't have a device and can't > test this.

I've asked, maybe it turns out to just be the first of my suggestions, and they noticed it was not matching in passing. They did introduce two additional MSR accesses, both outside of the range documented in the datasheets I could find online. They did have explanations for what those undocumented MSRs did (0x5040 and 0x5041) in the mail I got, but given it's third hand info to me, I dunno if we have the datasheet etc. I'll try to find out some more next week. Thanks, Conor.

Apparently it was the latter & they did need to fix the sequence to be able to write the MSRs. > They did introduce two > additional MSR accesses, both outside of the range documented in the > datasheets I could find online.

Seemingly what those two additional MSRs do is under NDA so I would have no way of justifying a patch to add them or the devicetree property required to know whether or not the additional MSR writes is needed. :)

I'm happy with the patch though, and it doesn't stop anything else working on the Pi.
