Hi Ashwin,

Can you please just send the new version of the $subject patch alone for now?

Attached below. (hope that worked.)

Also I'm still unsure what the connection between _CST and CPPC is.

There isnt. But I'm missing where I've implied the dependency?

Perhaps the confusion is coming from the introduction of ACPI_CST in
this file. I could leave it as it is and just separate out the
ACPI_PSS bits. But I figured, while I'm at it, I'd introduce ACPI_CST,
since we know the LPI stuff is coming up soon as a CST alternative
anyway. So if you prefer, I can drop the CST bits and maybe Sudeep can
address that as part of his LPI patchset?

Correct, I will handle it as a prerequisite for introducing _LPI
support. I had posted an RFC long back, will revive those patches and
repost them soon.

It's better to enable ACPI_PROCESSOR on ARM64 only after we have all
these dependencies resolved. Until then we need to carry some patches
locally for testing.

Sudeep
