Port D and port E GPIO loopback modes are commonly enabled via hardware straps for use with front-panel buttons. When the BMC is powered off or fails to boot, the front-panel buttons are directly connected to the host chipset via the loopback to allow direct power-on and reset control. Once the BMC has booted, the loopback mode must be disabled for the BMC to take over control of host power-on and reset. Disabling these loopback modes requires writing to the hardware strap register which violates the current design of assuming the system designer chose the strap settings for a specific reason and they should be treated as read-only. Only the two bits of the strap register related to these loopback modes are allowed to be written and comments have been added to explain why.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
