From e009a7e858fed215cb4eed5174a31cadd42d8797 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Barrat <fbarrat@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2016 14:32:48 -0500 Subject: cxl: Allow initialization on timebase sync failures Failure to synchronize the PSL timebase currently prevents the initialization of the cxl card, thus rendering the card useless. This is too extreme for a feature which is rarely used, if at all. No hardware AFUs or software is currently using PSL timebase. This patch still tries to synchronize the PSL timebase when the card is initialized, but ignores the error if it can't. Instead, it reports a status via /sys.
