Subject: [char-misc-next] mei: me: enable asynchronous probing
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 09:40:02 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170629064002.27750-1-tomas.winkler@intel.com> (raw)
From: Alexander Usyskin <alexander.usyskin@intel.com>
On some platforms, currently Broxton, Apollo Lake and Kaby Lake,
ME FW may be busy with internal bookkeeping and answering late
to the start message.
As a mitigation, the driver requests for a synchronous probing
to prevent stalling of the overall boot process. For example,
on a Apollo Lake platform the overall boot time has reduced from
~0.9 to ~0.6 seconds on average.
