Yes. I will revert these two patches in Linux 3.9 kernel. However, I'm waiting to merge these two patches into the stable kernel (v3.8.3), because following patch needs these two patches. [PATCH v2] sp5100_tco: Remove code that may cause a boot failure https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/3/6 Currently, the code of sp5100_tco driver differs between Linux 3.9 kernel and stable kernel, because the following patches aren't applied to stable kernel. [PATCH 1/2] sp5100_tco: Fix wrong indirect I/O access for getting value of reserved https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/13/176 [PATCH 2/2] sp5100_tco: Write back the original value to reserved bits, instead of zero http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/13/173 When these two patches are applied to stable kernel, the code of sp5100_tco in stable kernel is the same as Linux 3.9 kernel. Since the patch ('Remove code that may cause a boot failure') was written based on Linux 3.9, the patch can fix both Linux 3.9 kernel and stable kernel. >> queue-3.8/watchdog-sp5100_tco-fix-wrong-indirect-i-o-access-for-getting-value-of-reserved-bits.patch >> queue-3.8/watchdog-sp5100_tco-write-back-the-original-value-to-reserved-bits-instead-of-zero.patch After these two patches were merged into the stable kernel, I'm going to post the "Remove code that may cause a boot failure" patch which has improved the commit log to [email protected].
