Which of spin-table/psci are you planning on using for SMP support, and
when would that be likely to appear?
We have a qcom specific SMP enablement method for this device.  This
was one of our first devices so it utilized as much from arm 32-bit as
possible.
Implementation specific enable methods are something we really don't
want to see for arm64.
I fully agree (and we've been stating this for over two years).
If PSCI is out of the question then a spin-table shim in your
bootloader shouldn't be too hard to implement.
And I guess only WFI cpuidle supported in Linux.
