With the introduction of DT based idle states, CPUidle drivers for ARM can now initialize idle states data through properties in the device tree. This patch adds code to the big.LITTLE CPUidle driver to dynamically initialize idle states data through the updated device tree source file. Cc: Chander Kashyap <redacted> Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Pieralisi <redacted>I think for this patch (and the exynos one) we should still allow the driver to work fine with old DT. Basically if the information is not in DT, fall back to the original static definitions.
Yes, this makes sense, I will implement the fall-back mechanism on v7, that should be final. If in the meanwhile Samsung guys have time to test the Exynos patch that would be very appreciated. Thanks, Lorenzo
