There is a bug on the systems supporting to skip power up
(qcom,skip-power-up) where setting LPOVERRIDE bit(low-power
state override behaviour) will result in CPU hangs/lockups
even on the implementations which supports it. So skip
setting the LPOVERRIDE bit for such platforms.

The fix is fine by me. Btw, is there a hardware Erratum assigned for
this ? It would be good to have the Erratum documented somewhere,
preferrably ( Documentation/arm64/silicon-errata.rst )


No, afaik we don't have any erratum assigned to this bug.

Ok. Please double check, if there are any.


Sure I will check again.

It was already present in downstream kernel and since we
support these targets with the previous HW bug
(qcom,skip-power-up) now in upstream, we would need this
fix in upstream kernel as well.

I understand the need for the fix and we must fix it. I was
looking to document this in the central place for errata's
handled in the kernel. And I missed asking this question
when the original patch was posted. So, thought of asking
the question now anyways. Better late than never ;-)

Thanks. One more thing, does the internal erratum
number (if it exists) is good enough to be documented in
the Documentation/arm64/silicon-errata.rst ? I ask this
because outside qualcomm, it won't mean much right.

Thanks,
Sai
