[PATCH] dt-bindings: Add an enable method to RISC-V

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




RISC-V doesn't currently specify a mechanism for enabling or disabling
CPUs.  Instead, we assume that all CPUs are enabled on boot, and if
someone wants to save power we instead put a CPU to sleep via a WFI
loop.

This patch adds "enable-method" to the RISC-V CPU binding, which
currently only has the value "none".  This allows us to change the
enable method in the future.
