Subject: [PATCH 2/5] arm64: cpufeature: Detect BBML3 based on MMFR2 ID
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 15:11:28 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701094131.677636-3-linu.cherian@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701094131.677636-1-linu.cherian@arm.com>
Add MMFR2 ID based BBML3 feature detection, so
that compliant cpus doesn't need to be added to the
midr list.
