commit 655554b2fb926af93655d64f979a12d53e7413d0 Author: Scott Radcliffe sradcliffe@microind.com Date: Fri Oct 10 16:26:05 2014 -0400
intel/fsp_baytrail: Clear the GNVS area prior to filling
Zero out the GNVS area so that uninitialized portions are defined.
Tests using Microsoft Windows (XP/7/8) gave a bluescreen bugcheck: A5 (ACPI_BIOS_ERROR) with the first parameter (0x00001000) (ACPI_BIOS_USING_OS_MEMORY). Some ACPI enumerated devices use the GNVS area to define whether they're enabled and their MMIO regions. On my custom baytrail-based board and build, these devices were disabled but GNVS had uninitialized data indicating the devices were enabled with improper MMIO regions.
Should investigate further to see where the GNVS device values are set if enabled and make sure they're set to valid values even when the devices are disabled via the mainboard/devicetree.cb.
