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 idle
Ok, 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
