+Subject: [PATCH] x86/platform: Fix Geode LX timekeeping in the generic x86
+ build
+
+In 2007, commit 07190a08eef36 ("Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliable")
+bypassed verification of the TSC on Geode LX. However, this code
+(now in the check_system_tsc_reliable() function in
+arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c) was only present if CONFIG_MGEODE_LX was
+set.
+
+OpenWRT has recently started building its generic Geode target
+for Geode GX, not LX, to include support for additional
+platforms. This broke the timekeeping on LX-based devices,
+because the TSC wasn't marked as reliable:
+https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/20531
+
+By adding a runtime check on is_geode_lx(), we can also include
+the fix if CONFIG_MGEODEGX1 or CONFIG_X86_GENERIC are set, thus
+fixing the problem.
