In the case of these two, there's documentation on what the OS, FW, and
HW are expected to do. There's a PSCI spec, and spin-table is documented
in booting.txt (which is admittedly not fantastic).

However, this has no semantics associated with it. Per the code below
it seems to encompass more than just poking the APSS ACC, so the name
isn't great either.

This is not a phrase that will ever make me happy.

We got rid of this for spin-table. It's pointless.

This looks suspicious.

I take it this shouldn't be here?

I didn't see any mention of an L2 requiring power-up in the rest of the
series...

So you want to share the pen, but duplicate the code for managing it?

Ah, so cold_boot_done is for pseudo-hotplug. Absolute NAK to that.

The only thing this gives you over spin-table is one-time powering up of
the CPUs that can be performed prior to entry to Linux. If you do that,
you can trivially share the spin-table code by setting each CPU's
enable-method to "spin-table".

That won't give you cpuidle or actual hotplug. For those you'll need
PSCI.

Mark.
