+skiboot-5.1.7
+-------------
+
+skiboot-5.1.7 was released on October 13th, 2015.
+
+skiboot-5.1.7 is the 8th stable release of 5.1, it follows skiboot-5.1.6
+(which was released October 8th, 2015).
+
+Skiboot 5.1.7 contains all fixes from skiboot-5.1.6 and is a minor bug
+fix release with one important bug fix for FSP systems.
+
+Over skiboot-5.1.6, we have the following changes:
+
+Generic:
+- PHB3: Retry fundamental reset
+    This introduces another PHB3 state (PHB3_STATE_FRESET_START)
+    allowing to redo fundamental reset if the link doesn't come up
+    in time at the first attempt, to improve the robustness of PHB's
+    fundamental reset. If the link comes up after the first reset,
+    the 2nd reset won't be issued at all.
+
+FSP based systems:
+- hw/fsp/fsp-leds.c: use allocated buffer for FSP_CMD_GET_LED_LIST response
+
+  This fixes a bug where we would overwrite roughly 4kb of memory belonging
+  to Linux when the FSP would ask firmware for a list of LEDs in the system.
+  This wouldn't happen often (once before Linux was running and possibly
+  only once during runtime, and *early* runtime at that) but it was possible
+  for this corruption to show up and be detected.
