x86: braswell: Fix unexpected crash during Linux kernel boot It was observed that when booting Linux kernel on Intel Cherry Hill board, unexpected crash happens quite randomly. Sometimes kernel just oops, while sometimes kernel throws MCE errors and hangs: mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 0: Machine Check: 0 Bank 4: c400000000010151 mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC 0 ADDR 130f3f2c0 mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 0:406c3 TIME 1508160686 SOCKET 0 APIC 0 microcode 363 This looks like a hardware error per mcelog. After debugging, it seems turning off turbo mode on the processor does not expose this behavior, although U-Boot runs OK with turbo mode on. Suspect it is related to an errata of Braswell processor. To fix this, remove the Braswell cpu driver which does the turbo mode configuration, and switch to use the generic cpu-x86 driver. Also there is a configuration option in the FSP that turns on the turbo mode and that has been turned off too. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
