Hello Amit,

I added debug prints in psci_cpu_suspend_enter() and arm_cpuidle_suspend()
when verifying this patch, and psci_cpu_suspend_enter() is indeed called,
with the correct psci suspend parameter.

The output from:
grep "" /sys/bus/cpu/devices/cpu0/cpuidle/state?/*
also looks sane.

However, if 'entry-method="psci"' is required according to the DT binding,
perhaps you can send a 2/2 series that fixes both this patch and msm8916 ?

I don't know of any way to measure the power consumption on this board,
so no, I haven't been able to verify that the firmware actually does
the right thing here.


Kind regards,
Niklas
