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.
Yes, I mentioned that in other threads, just wanted to avoid sending another
pull request when patches still apply cleanly, there was no real reson to do
that.
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.
Daniel signed off the CPU idle driver patch; as for the two other patches, one
is co-authored with Nico, and one is a one-liner that just updates the
vexpress MCPM back-end. I think this should be enough, but your point is taken,
I just could not ask Daniel to ack a patch he already signed off.
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.
That's great, thank you very much, please let me know if you need help.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
