Over skiboot-5.1.5, we have the following changes:

Generic:

• Ensure we run pollers in cpu_wait_job()

  In root causing a bug on AST BMC Alistair found that pollers weren’t being run for around 3800ms.

  This could show as not resetting the boot count sensor on successful boot.

AST BMC Machines

• hw/bt.c: Check for timeout after checking for message response

  When deciding if a BT message has timed out we should first check for a message response. This will ensure that messages will not time out if there was a delay calling the pollers.

  This could show as not resetting the boot count sensor on successful boot.
