The PSL Timebase register is updated by the PSL to maintain the
timebase.
On P9, the Timebase value is only provided by the CAPP as received
the last time a timebase request was performed.
The timebase requests are initiated through the adapter configuration or
application registers.
The specific sysfs entry "/sys/class/cxl/cardxx/psl_timebase_synced" is
now dynamically updated according the content of the PSL Timebase
register.

Can you give me a Fixes: tag for this?

Does it need to go to stable? I can't tell from the change log how bad
the bug this fixes is.


Sorry, I completely forgot to add it:
Fixes: f24be42aab37 ("cxl: Add psl9 specific code")

With the current code, the state of the PSL timebase, on P9, is not
displayed correctly because the feature works differently from
what was expected.
This patch fixes this behavior and introduces a new way to get 
dynamically the state of the PSL timebase.

Thanks

cheers
