Most SoC GPIO implementations, including the Aspeed one, have synchronizers on the GPIO inputs. This means that the value read from a GPIO is a couple of clocks old, from whatever clock source feeds those synchronizers. In practice, this means that in no-delay mode, we are using a value that can potentially be a bit too old and too close to the clock edge establishing the data on the other side of the link. The voltage converters we use on some systems make this worse and sensitive to things like voltage fluctuations etc... This is, we believe, the cause of occasional CRC errors encountered during heavy activity on the LPC bus. This is fixed by introducing a dummy GPIO read before the actual data read. It slows down SBEFIFO by about 15% (less than any delay primitive) and the end result is so far solid.

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 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.
