Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/4] arm64: advertise CPU features using module aliases
Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2013 18:17:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1383844657-17487-5-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1383844657-17487-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>
This enables the generic implementation in drivers/base/cpu.c
that allows modules to be loaded automatically based on the
optional features supported (and advertised) by the CPU.
