This is wrong way to move forward. The root cause must be identified first and then decide actions like always in any situation. /Jarkko

The reverts fix 'the interrupt storm issue' that they are causing on some systems but don't fix the issue with the interrupt mode not being used. I was hoping Jerry would get access to a system faster but this didn't seem to be the case. So sending these patches seemed the better solution than leaving 5.4.x with the problem but going back to when it worked 'better.' > > This is wrong way to move forward.

Should I bake a patch or do you have already something? /Jarkko

From: Stefan Berger <stefanb@linux.ibm.com> Revert the patches that were fixing the probing of interrupts due to reports of interrupt stroms on some systems The following Linux kernel versions are affected: - 5.4 - 5.3.4 and later - 5.2.19 and later Stefan Berger (2): tpm: Revert "tpm_tis_core: Set TPM_CHIP_FLAG_IRQ before probing for interrupts" tpm: Revert "tpm_tis_core: Turn on the TPM before probing IRQ's" drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis_core.c | 3 --- 1 file changed, 3 deletions(-)
