Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] e1000e: ignore factory-default checksum value on TGP platform
Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2025 18:01:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b7856437-2c74-4e01-affa-3bbc57ce6c51@jacekk.info> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <fe064a2c-31d6-4671-ba30-198d121782d0@jacekk.info>
As described by Vitaly Lifshits:
> Starting from Tiger Lake, LAN NVM is locked for writes by SW, so the
> driver cannot perform checksum validation and correction. This means
> that all NVM images must leave the factory with correct checksum and
> checksum valid bit set.
Unfortunately some systems have left the factory with an empty checksum.
NVM is not modifiable on this platform, hence ignore checksum 0xFFFF on
Tiger Lake systems to work around this.
