+skiboot-5.10.2
+==============
+
+skiboot 5.10.2 was released on Tuesday March 6th, 2018. It replaces
+:ref:`skiboot-5.10.1` as the current stable release in the 5.10.x series.
+
+Over :ref:`skiboot-5.10.1`, we have one improvement:
+
+- Tie tm-suspend fw-feature and opal_reinit_cpus() together
+
+ Currently opal_reinit_cpus(OPAL_REINIT_CPUS_TM_SUSPEND_DISABLED)
+ always returns OPAL_UNSUPPORTED.
+
+ This ties the tm suspend fw-feature to the
+ opal_reinit_cpus(OPAL_REINIT_CPUS_TM_SUSPEND_DISABLED) so that when tm
+ suspend is disabled, we correctly report it to the kernel. For
+ backwards compatibility, it's assumed tm suspend is available if the
+ fw-feature is not present.
+
+ Currently hostboot will clear fw-feature(TM_SUSPEND_ENABLED) on P9N
+ DD2.1. P9N DD2.2 will set fw-feature(TM_SUSPEND_ENABLED). DD2.0 and
+ below has TM disabled completely (not just suspend).
+
+ We are using opal_reinit_cpus() to determine this setting (rather than
+ the device tree/HDAT) as some future firmware may let us change this
+ dynamically after boot. That is not the case currently though.
