Hi Jon,

Yes I see that makes sense. However, patch #7 has already changed the
mapping of the flags. I had intended that patch #7 and #8 would be
applied together. However, I could see that patch #7 can be taken just
to eliminate using the SW_SLEEP state. So basically, what I am saying is
does patch #7 have any value without #8?

Certainly not as much value as it had before.  But my understanding, which 
is possibly incorrect, matches what you wrote in patch #7's description:

"For OMAP4 devices, SW_SLEEP is equivalent to HW_AUTO and NO_SLEEP is 
equivalent to SW_WKUP. The only difference between HW_AUTO and SW_SLEEP 
for OMAP4 devices is that the PRM_IRQSTATUS_MPU.TRANSITION_ST interrupt 
status is set in case of SW_SLEEP transition, and not set in case of 
HW_AUTO transition."

We don't use that PRM_IRQSTATUS_MPU.TRANSITION_ST interrupt bit.  So if 
SW_SLEEP and HW_AUTO really have identical meanings otherwise, then I 
suppose we might as well use the one that does what we need with no 
extraneous side-effects?  My recollection from a conversation with Beno?t 
a few months ago was that this was his view as well.

That's fine with me. We can always workaround such issues by adding flags.

I can give this a try this week and let you know how it goes.

Okay, great.  No rush on my account.
