'cpu_data' is updated for policy->cpu first and then for all CPUs in policy->cpus. policy->cpus is guaranteed to contain policy->cpu as policy->well and so the first write to 'cpu_data' for policy->cpu is redundant. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> --- Hi Yuantian, I was looking into this driver due to issues reported by Hongtao (cc'd) and found that we can live without some code. These aren't fixing any bugs and are just cleanups. I didn't had a compiler for this and so this isn't even compiled. It would be great if you can please review/test these patches. drivers/cpufreq/ppc-corenet-cpufreq.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-)diff --git a/drivers/cpufreq/ppc-corenet-cpufreq.cb/drivers/cpufreq/ppc-corenet-cpufreq.c index 3607070..bee5df7 100644--- a/drivers/cpufreq/ppc-corenet-cpufreq.c +++ b/drivers/cpufreq/ppc-corenet-cpufreq.c@@ -199,7 +199,6 @@ static int corenet_cpufreq_cpu_init(structcpufreq_policy *policy)quoted

Yeah, your patch should be ok, but is it the best solution? I was thinking about a final solution just like ARM did. Thanks, Yuantian
