skiboot-6.2.3
*************
skiboot 6.2.3 was released on Tuesday March 19th, 2019. It replaces
skiboot-6.2.2 as the current stable release in the 6.2.x series.
It is recommended that 6.2.3 be used instead of any previous 6.2.x
version due to the bug fixes it contains.
Bug fixes included in this release are:
* p9dsu: Undo slot label name changes
During some code updates the slot labels were updated to reflect the
phb layout, however expectations were that the slot labels be
aligned with the riser card slots and not the system planar slots.
[stewart: The tale of how we got here is long and varied and not at
all clear. The first ESS systems went out with a skiboot v5.9.8 with
additional SuperMicro patches. It was probably a slot table, but who
knows, we don't have the code so can't check. It's possible it was
all coming in through HDAT instead). The op-build tree (thus the
exact patches) shipped on systems that work correct seems to not be
around anywhere anymore (if it ever was). It was only in skiboot
v6.0 that a slot table made it in, and, of course, only having
remote machines in random configs, including possibly with riser
cards from Briggs&Stratton rather than the ones destined for this
system, doesn't make for verifying this at all. It also doesn't help
that *consistently* there is *never* any review on slot tables, and
we've had things be wrong in the past. Combine this with not
upstream Hostboot patches.]
* p9dsu: Fix slot labels for p9dsu2u
Update the slot labels for the p9dsu2u tables.
* fast-reboot: occ: Call occ_pstates_init() on fast-reset on all
machines
Commit 815417dcda2e ("init, occ: Initialise OCC earlier on BMC
systems") conditionally invoked occ_pstates_init() only on FSP based
systems in load_and_boot_kernel(). Due to this pstate table is re-
parsed on FSP system and skipped on BMC system during fast-reboot.
So this patch fixes this by invoking occ_pstates_init() on all boxes
during fast-reboot.
