From 855c551f5b8cc3815d58e1056c1f1e7c461e2d24 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2009 17:06:15 +0100 Subject: [ARM] 5490/1: ARM errata: Processor deadlock when a false hazard is created This patch adds a workaround for the 458693 Cortex-A8 (r2p0) erratum. It sets the corresponding bits in the auxiliary control register so that the PLD instruction becomes a NOP.
