Thanks. I've just brought it into my local copies of loongson-community branches for 4.4, 4.9, 4.14, 4.19, and 4.20, and master, after verifying that it enables at least 4.19, 4.20 and master to reboot without a power cycle, and I'll include it in upcoming freeloong builds, except for 3.16 and 3.18, where it doesn't apply. > In addition, I've discovered and fixed another bug preventing the machine from > shutting down, this patch has already merged into the Linus tree. > https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8a96669d77897ff3613157bf43f875739205d66d Hmm, I don't think I've ever hit this one.
