Why can't we get the secondary boot address from the /cpus node in the smp_prepare_cpus op. It isn't that hard to get access to the cpus node there via of_find_node_by_path(). Then we don't need patch 1 at all. If it turns out to be common stuff, we can always have the common function live in arm common code or maybe even be a devicetree API. -- 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
