* Paul Walmsley <[email protected]> [110702 17:58]: > On some boards, it's not possible to reset certain IP blocks during > kernel initialization. Some boards connect GPIO lines to external > voltage controllers, so resetting them may cause voltage to drop on a > critical supply[1]. Other boards connect GPIO lines to reset pins on > external devices without open documentation, so if the GPIO blocks are > reset, the external devices cannot currently be reconfigured[2]. > > The correct way to fix these issues on OMAP is to add a > hwmod_no_setup_reset(hwmod) call to the board file, that references > the IP block that must preserve its state.

This patch adds a > kernel command line parameter, 'hwmod_no_setup_reset', that prevents > the OMAP hwmod code from resetting any IP block during init. > > 1.
