Subject: [PATCH for-5.0 v2 4/9] acpi: cpuhp: spec: clarify 'CPU selector' register usage and endianness
Date: Mon,  9 Dec 2019 14:08:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1575896942-331151-5-git-send-email-imammedo@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1575896942-331151-1-git-send-email-imammedo@redhat.com>

* Move reserved registers to the top of the section, so reader would be
  aware of effects when reading registers description.
* State registers endianness explicitly at the beginning of the section
* Describe registers behavior in case of 'CPU selector' register contains
  value that doesn't point to a possible CPU.
