From 6d0e4827b72afc71349784336d5eb6df4df106e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2017 10:01:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "bdi: add error handle for bdi_debug_register" This reverts commit a0747a859ef6d3cc5b6cd50eb694499b78dd0025. It breaks some booting for some users, and more than a week into this, there's still no good fix. Revert this commit for now until a solution has been found.
