For nearly all commands in U-Boot the '?' variable is handled the same way with 0 meaning success, 1 meaning any failure. Explain this in the general rules section of the cmdline documentation (with a link to a counter example) and then remove the redundant wording from most commands. We retain a section about the return value in a number of places where we are doing something such as always returning a specific value or we have useful additional information to go along with the normal return codes.

Synopsis
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
msr read <op>
|
|
msr write <op> <hi> <lo>
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The msr command reads and writes machine-status registers (MSRs) on x86 CPUs.
|
|
The information is a 64-bit value split into two parts, <hi> for the top 32
|
|
bits and <lo> for the bottom 32 bits.
|
|
|
|
The operation <op> selects what information is read or written.
|
|
|
|
msr read
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This reads an MSR and displays the value obtained.
|
|
|
|
msr write
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This writes a value to an MSR.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The msr command is only available on x86.
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
This shows reading msr 0x194 which is MSR_FLEX_RATIO on Intel CPUs::
|
|
|
|
=> msr read 194
|
|
00000000 00011200 # Bits 16 (flex ratio enable) and 20 (lock) are set
|
|
|
|
This shows adjusting the energy-performance bias on an Intel CPU::
|
|
|
|
=> msr read 1b0
|
|
00000000 00000006 # 6 means 'normal'
|
|
|
|
=> msr write 1b0 0 f # change to power-save
|
|
=> msr read 1b0
|
|
00000000 0000000f
