[PATCH] ARM: topology: Make it clear that all CPUs need to be described

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

 




From: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxx>

The ARMv8 code will reject topologies that omit some CPUs (and it's not
clear that it's ever sensible to do so). Update the binding document to
make this clear.
