Re: [PATCH 03/33] ACPI / PPTT: Add a helper to fill a cpumask from a processor container

Hi James,

The patch logic update makes sense to me. Just a nit.

nit: Consider dropping the boolean leaf_flag and just using
acpi_pptt_leaf_node() in the condition. The name leaf_flag is slightly
overloaded to include the case when the acpi leaf flag is not supported
and dropping it would make the code more succinct.
