I didn't question this change (I simply assumed that it's relevant - I never questioned "why" it was relevant) so far however, that was until Linus L?ssing (CC'ed) investigated a bug-report from Emiliano Ingrassia (also CC'ed). you can find his results here: [0] (tl;dr: kernel refuses to boot without this change when using a slightly modified multi_v7_defconfig) Linus even asked me to split this change out into a separate patch [1] however, by the time I came back home Kevin already sent out the pull request please let me know if - we can keep the patches the way they are right now - or if you want to separate this change into a separate patch Regards Martin [0] https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/28/148 [1] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-amlogic/2017-October/005155.html
