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. |
