    x86/reboot: Add ASRock Q1900DC-ITX mainboard reboot quirk · 80313b30
    Stefan Lippers-Hollmann authored
    The ASRock Q1900DC-ITX mainboard (Baytrail-D) hangs randomly in
    both BIOS and UEFI mode while rebooting unless reboot=pci is
    used. Add a quirk to reboot via the pci method.
    
    The problem is very intermittent and hard to debug, it might succeed
    rebooting just fine 40 times in a row - but fails half a dozen times
    the next day. It seems to be slightly less common in BIOS CSM mode
    than native UEFI (with the CSM disabled), but it does happen in either
    mode. Since I've started testing this patch in late january, rebooting
    has been 100% reliable.
    
    Most of the time it already hangs during POST, but occasionally it
    might even make it through the bootloader and the kernel might even
    start booting, but then hangs before the mode switch. The same symptoms
    occur with grub-efi, gummiboot and grub-pc, just as well as (at least)
    kernel 3.16-3.19 and 4.0-rc6 (I haven't tried older kernels than 3.16).
    Upgrading to the most current mainboard firmware of the ASRock
    Q1900DC-ITX, version 1.20, does not improve the situation.
    
    ( Searching the web seems to suggest that other Bay Trail-D mainboards
      might be affected as well. )
