I have seen Gerd sent out V4 patch set for #4251. Is that not enough?

In general, I prefer no work-around, unless there is strong reason.

I would like to have Gerd and Ard to feedback.

Thank you
Yao, Jiewen

It is this one:

Should have put that into the commit message, sorry.

Not sure the detail.

Could you please add more comment, such as, what issue? Why crash? Why changing 
to Broadwell can resolve it?
