From 67de6bf1e4f869a490656448f471fdc4a0a405ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Usyskin Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 09:40:02 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] mei: me: enable asynchronous probing On some platforms, currently Broxton, Apollo Lake and Kaby Lake, ME FW may be busy with internal bookkeeping and answering late to the start message. As a mitigation, the driver requests for a synchronous probing to prevent stalling of the overall boot process. For example, on a Apollo Lake platform the overall boot time has reduced from ~0.9 to ~0.6 seconds on average.
