I don't know what the BWB unit is, I guess W is for write and one of the Bs is for burst. All I know is that there repeatedly have been issues with it hanging on certain streams (ENGR00223231, ENGR00293425), with various firmware versions, sometimes blocking something related to the GDI bus or the GDI AXI adapter. There are some error cases that we don't know how to recover from without a reboot. Apparently this unit can be disabled by setting bit 12 in the FRAME_MEM_CTRL mailbox register to zero, so do that to avoid crashes. Side effects are reduced burst lengths when writing out decoded frames to memory, so there is an "enable_bwb" module parameter to turn it back on.

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.
