Hi Russell, I know it is coming quite late in the cycle but please consider pulling the patch series implementing the new cache maintenance LoUIS API, since it provides a stepping stone to implementing power management on upcoming A15 and A7 based platforms, leaving functionality for earlier processor versions unchanged. It has been tested on: - OMAP4/5 # suspend/hotplug and CPU idle - iMX6q # suspend and hotplug - TC2 big.LITTLE testchip # CPU idleOk, last night's PXA build regressed with this: arch/arm/mm/built-in.o: In function `xscale_dma_unmap_area': cache-xsc3l2.c:(.text+0x4194): undefined reference to `xscale_80200_A0_A1_flush_kern_cache_louis' That's because we missed that proc-xscale.S aliases a bunch of functions to xscale_80200_A0_A1_xxx from xscale_xxx. And looking at that, it seems that we also .type equivalent symbols - have you tested this on T2 builds to check whether it works correctly there?
Point taken for the regression, currently looking into that. I have not run tests on T2, I would be surprised if the set triggers any issue on T2 but I should have thought about that, my apologies. I will test it ASAP and get back to you, sorry again. Lorenzo
