Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ARM: update errata 430973 documentation
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2015 02:48:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1437612483-30160-3-git-send-email-sre@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1437612483-30160-1-git-send-email-sre@kernel.org>

The Errata 430973 workaround config option only enables the
IBE bit, which should be done by the bootloader if possible.
