I think I am on the CC: list because of a CPU detection problem report
on sparc64 (183912d352a242a276a7877852f107459a13aff9 (of: move
of_get_cpu_node implementation to DT core library) caused trouble and
was reverted). So while your V2 patch does not cause any visible harm on
the same Sun E3500, my gut feeling is that an additional patch would be
needed to actually test it (a patch like
183912d352a242a276a7877852f107459a13aff9).
Is this correct or am I missing something?
