Hello Marcin,

Thanks for the feedback.

Even if this was a bug in the UEFI firmware, shouldn't the kernel be
independent from that, by doing a proper reset/reinit of the HW ?

I.e, isn't the firmware fix papering over a bug that should be fixed in
Linux mvpp2 driver anyway ?

Best regards,

Thomas
