[PATCH 2/3] arm64: efi: Use SMBIOS processor version to key off Ampere quirk

Ard Biesheuvel ardb at kernel.org
Wed Mar 22 07:26:20 PDT 2023


Instead of using the SMBIOS type 1 record 'family' field, which is often
modified by OEMs, use the type 4 'processor ID' and 'processor version'
fields, which are set to a small set of probe-able values on all known
Ampere EFI systems in the field.

Fixes: 550b33cfd4452968 ("arm64: efi: Force the use of ...")
