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

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.

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.
