Linux kernel source tree
e6416c2dfe
The S5_RESET_STATUS register is parsed on boot and printed to kmsg.
However, this could sometimes be misleading and lead to users wasting a
lot of time on meaningless debugging for two reasons:
* Some bits are never cleared by hardware. It's the software's
responsibility to clear them as per the Processor Programming Reference
(see [1]).
* Some rare hardware-initiated platform resets do not update the
register at all.
In both cases, a previous reboot could leave its trace in the register,
resulting in users seeing unrelated reboot reasons while debugging random
reboots afterward.
Write the read value back to the register in order to clear all reason bits
since they are write-1-to-clear while the others must be preserved.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
