From: Ashok Raj Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2022 21:08:27 +0000 (-0800) Subject: x86/microcode/intel: Do not retry microcode reloading on the APs X-Git-Tag: v6.1.8~664 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=db10ca17bbe2294452995b863100078a55bc6229;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-starfive.git x86/microcode/intel: Do not retry microcode reloading on the APs commit be1b670f61443aa5d0d01782e9b8ea0ee825d018 upstream. The retries in load_ucode_intel_ap() were in place to support systems with mixed steppings. Mixed steppings are no longer supported and there is only one microcode image at a time. Any retries will simply reattempt to apply the same image over and over without making progress.
