You really want to turn it on/off based on the card, not > the whole system. Would a bool attribute in sysfs for the card (e.g timebase_sync) make sense? We can by default ignore (and log) timebase sync errors during card initialization and provide a simple wrapper in libcxl to query and set this attribute afterwards. Also it might be better if the AFU advertises the need for timebase synchronization via a configuration record so that we enable it for the psl iif one of the slices asks for it. I am not sure if this possible at the moment but I believe it something we can put forth the psl/hdk team before timebase usage becomes more widespread. ~ Vaibhav _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
