SMBUS_BLOCK_DATA transactions might fail due to a race condition with the IMC (Integrated Micro Controller), even when the IMC semaphore is used. This bug has been reported and confirmed by AMD, who suggested as a solution an IMC firmware upgrade (obtained via BIOS update) and disabling the IMC during SMBUS_BLOCK_DATA transactions. Even without the IMC upgrade, the SMBUS is much more stable with this patch. Tested on a Bettong-alike board.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
