+skiboot-5.1.3
+-------------
+
+skiboot-5.1.3 was released on September 15th, 2015.
+
+skiboot-5.1.3 is the 4th stable release of 5.1, it follows skiboot-5.1.2
+(which was released September 9th, 2015).
+
+Skiboot 5.1.3 contains all fixes from skiboot-5.1.2 and is a minor bugfix
+release.
+
+Over skiboot-5.1.2, we have the following changes:
+
+- slot names for firestone platform
+- fix display of LPC errors
+- SBE based timer support
+ - on supported platforms limits reliance on Linux heartbeat
+- fix use-after-free in fsp/ipmi
+- fix hang on TOD/TB errors (time-of-day/timebase) on OpenPower systems
+ - On getting a Hypervizor Maintenance Interrupt to get the timebase
+ back into a running state, we would call prlog which would use
+ the LPC UART console driver on OpenPower systems, which depends on
+ a working timebase, leading to a hang.
+ We now don't depend on a working timebase in this recovery codepath.
+- enable prd for garrison platform
+- PCI: Clear error bits after changing MPS
+ Chaning MPS on PCI upstream bridge might cause error bits set on
+ downstream endpoints when system boots into Linux as below case
+ shows:
+ host# lspci -vvs 0001:06:00.0
+ 0001:06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation \
+ NetXtreme II BCM57810 10 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
+ DevSta: CorrErr+ UncorrErr- FatalErr- UnsuppReq+ AuxPwr- TransPend-
+ CESta: RxErr- BadTLP- BadDLLP- Rollover- Timeout- NonFatalErr+
+
+ This clears those error bits in AER and PCIe capability after MPS
+ is changed. With the patch applied, no more error bits are seen.
