From 152addd3a965759b69fbdb9a76526f1f5070bc9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonas Gorski Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2013 22:00:10 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: BCM63XX: make nvram checksum failure non fatal MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Some vendors modify the nvram layout moving the checksum to a different place or dropping entirely, so reduce the checksum failure to a warning. Reported-by: Álvaro Fernández Rojas Signed-off-by: Jonas Gorski --- I'm not sure if it should be that "loud" (pr_warn) because users can't actually do anything to fix it, so maybe pr_debug would be fine, too. arch/mips/bcm63xx/boards/board_bcm963xx.c | 5 +---- arch/mips/bcm63xx/nvram.c | 7 +++---- arch/mips/include/asm/mach-bcm63xx/bcm63xx_nvram.h | 4 +--- 3 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) --- a/arch/mips/bcm63xx/boards/board_bcm963xx.c +++ b/arch/mips/bcm63xx/boards/board_bcm963xx.c @@ -745,10 +745,7 @@ void __init board_prom_init(void) strcpy(cfe_version, "unknown"); printk(KERN_INFO PFX "CFE version: %s\n", cfe_version); - if (bcm63xx_nvram_init(boot_addr + BCM963XX_NVRAM_OFFSET)) { - printk(KERN_ERR PFX "invalid nvram checksum\n"); - return; - } + bcm63xx_nvram_init(boot_addr + BCM963XX_NVRAM_OFFSET); board_name = bcm63xx_nvram_get_name(); /* find board by name */ --- a/arch/mips/bcm63xx/nvram.c +++ b/arch/mips/bcm63xx/nvram.c @@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ struct bcm963xx_nvram { static struct bcm963xx_nvram nvram; static int mac_addr_used; -int __init bcm63xx_nvram_init(void *addr) +void __init bcm63xx_nvram_init(void *addr) { unsigned int check_len; u32 crc, expected_crc; @@ -60,9 +60,8 @@ int __init bcm63xx_nvram_init(void *addr crc = crc32_le(~0, (u8 *)&nvram, check_len); if (crc != expected_crc) - return -EINVAL; - - return 0; + pr_warn("nvram checksum failed, contents may be invalid (expected %08x, got %08x)\n", + expected_crc, crc); } u8 *bcm63xx_nvram_get_name(void) --- a/arch/mips/include/asm/mach-bcm63xx/bcm63xx_nvram.h +++ b/arch/mips/include/asm/mach-bcm63xx/bcm63xx_nvram.h @@ -9,10 +9,8 @@ * * Initialized the local nvram copy from the target address and checks * its checksum. - * - * Returns 0 on success. */ -int __init bcm63xx_nvram_init(void *nvram); +void bcm63xx_nvram_init(void *nvram); /** * bcm63xx_nvram_get_name() - returns the board name according to nvram
