Upstream a long-standing OpenWrt patch for RALINK MT7621 SoC. Selecting WEAK_REORDERING_BEYOND_LLSC fixes random kernel hangs. This bug and fix was reported by MediaTek WCN division [0]. [0]: https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/lede-commits/2017-August/004537.html
I don't see the Mediatek WCN reporting there. Looking at the 1004K user manual I couldn't find a notice about such behaviour. So this looks more like a fix for papering over the real bug by just introducing a few more syncs. Could you please point me to where this is really documented ? Thomas. -- Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessarily a good idea. [ RFC1925, 2.3 ]
