The PTYS register is used to report and configure the port type and speed. Currently, internal bits in the register are used the same way other bits are used. Using the internal bits can cause bad parameter firmware errors. For example, trying to write to internal bit 25 returns: EMAD reg access failed (tid=53e2bffa00004310,reg_id=5004(ptys),type=write,status=7(bad parameter)) Remove the internal bits from the PTYS register, so that it is no longer possible to pass them to firmware.

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.
