In the general case, we don't know which of system shutdown or reboot is the better action to take to protect hardware in an emergency situation. We thus allow the policy to come from the device-tree in the form of an optional critical-action OF property, but so far there was no way for the end user to configure this. With recent addition of the hw_protection parameter, the user can now choose a default action for the case, where the driver isn't fully sure what's the better course of action. Let's make use of this by passing HWPROT_ACT_DEFAULT in absence of the critical-action OF property. As HWPROT_ACT_DEFAULT is shutdown by default, this introduces no functional change for users, unless they start using the new parameter.

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 reStructuredText 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.
