Subject: [PATCH] x86, reboot: remove VersaLogic Menlow reboot quirk
Date: Sun, 29 Jan 2012 14:21:17 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87vcnub9hu.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)

This commit removes the reboot quirk originally added by commit e19e074
(x86: Fix reboot problem on VersaLogic Menlow boards).

Testing with a VersaLogic Ocelot (VL-EPMs-21a rev 1.00 w/ BIOS 6.5.102)
revealed the following regarding the reboot hang problem:

- v2.6.37 reboot=bios was needed.

- v2.6.38-rc1: behavior changed, reboot=acpi is needed, reboot=kbd and
  reboot=bios result in system hang.

- v2.6.38: VersaLogic patch (e19e074 x86: Fix reboot problem on
  VersaLogic Menlow boards) was applied prior to v2.6.38-rc7.  This
  patch sets a quirk for VersaLogic Menlow boards that forces the use
  of reboot=bios, which doesn't work anymore.

- v3.2: It seems that commit 660e34c (x86: Reorder reboot method
  preferences) changed the default reboot method to acpi prior to
  v3.0-rc1, which means the default behavior is appropriate for the
  Ocelot.  No VersaLogic quirk is required.

The Ocelot board used for testing can successfully reboot w/out having to
pass any reboot= arguments for all 3 current versions of the BIOS.
