Subject: [Patch v3 Part2 9/9] x86/microcode: Provide an option to override minrev enforcement
Date:   Mon, 30 Jan 2023 13:39:55 -0800
Message-Id: <20230130213955.6046-10-ashok.raj@intel.com>
In-Reply-To: <20230130213955.6046-1-ashok.raj@intel.com>
References: <20230130213955.6046-1-ashok.raj@intel.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Precedence: bulk

Minimum Required Revision (minrev) is enforced strictly. All new patches
will have a minrev that is not zero. But there might be a transition time
for some that need this enforcement to be relaxed.

When the override is enabled, the kernel will be tainted.

Provide a debugfs variable to override the minrev enforcement.
