Can you be more elaborate on the mess you see on this Renesas platform. For me, it looks like this patch is attempting to *re-implement* the existing "suspend-to-idle" functionality. So IMO, this patch set is creating unnecessary mess giving an illusion that PSCI specification is broken. -- Regards, Sudeep -- 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
