I don't see why we need to keep adding more and more enable-methods every time the subsystem surrounding the CPU changes. The method is the same, write some registers to power up the CPU for the first time (cold boot) or ping the CPU to wake it up (warmboot). The only difference is where those registers live and a slight variation in the sequence that we perform. -- Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of Code Aurora Forum, hosted by The Linux Foundation -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
