The two most significant bits of the "local_port" field in the SSPR
register are always cleared since they are overwritten by the deprecated
and overlapping "sub_port" field.
On systems with more than 255 local ports (e.g., Spectrum-4), this
results in the firmware maintaining invalid mappings between system port
and local port. Specifically, two different systems ports (0x1 and
0x101) point to the same local port (0x1), which eventually leads to
firmware errors.
Fix by removing the deprecated "sub_port" field.

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 Restructured Text 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.
