From: Ivan Vera <redacted> In the event of an uninitialized calibration register, ensure the register is reset and properly programmed during the probe sequence. At present, only the calibration register is evaluated. If it holds invalid values after a power cycle, there's no longer a way to reset it, for instance, via a devicetree entry to 0x7FFF. This issue is documented here: https://adaptivesupport.amd.com/s/article/000036886?language=en_US The fix prioritizes an optional calibration value provided via the devicetree over the value in the register.

Doesn't this forcefully overwrite the proper value that has been set from userspace and so trashes the time at each reboot? Isn't the proper way to reset it to simply set the offset from userspace again? -- Alexandre Belloni, co-owner and COO, Bootlin Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
