[GIT PULL] ARM: TC2: CPU idle big.LITTLE driver

[Lorenzo Pieralisi]

Hi Olof, Kevin,

please pull this patch series that provides a CPU idle driver for the vexpress
TC2 testchip, and it is a stepping stone towards an ARM unified CPU idle driver
based on the MCPM framework.

Series is based against this pull request from Pawel which is a strict
dependency and they must be merged in order:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-August/190067.html

Thanks !!
Lorenzo

May I ask you please the status of this pull request ? It is to know if
it is ok as it is or I have to do something on my side, thanks.

Thank you,
Lorenzo

This needed a rebase on top of the latest version of the mcpm backend branch,
since it's based on an older version.

I also don't see an ack from any of the cpuidle maintainers, if you want to
take it through arm-soc you need to get them to ack it for that purpose. I see
that you got an informal "It sounds good to me" in
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg266442.html, but please be diligent
in collecting these in the future.


So, I've essentially applied the topmost 3 patches in a new branch that's based
on our version of vexpress/mcpm, and merged that in.

Yes, I mentioned that in other threads, just wanted to avoid sending another
pull request when patches still apply cleanly, there was no real reson to do
that.

Daniel signed off the CPU idle driver patch; as for the two other patches, one
is co-authored with Nico, and one is a one-liner that just updates the
vexpress MCPM back-end. I think this should be enough, but your point is taken,
I just could not ask Daniel to ack a patch he already signed off.

That's great, thank you very much, please let me know if you need help.

Thanks,
Lorenzo

Hi Olof,

there is my signed-off for the cpuidle patch because I wrote part of it
and Lorenzo finished it. This is why I thought it was not necessary to
add my acked-by.
