As I said before the under discussed generic power domain is not suitable for CPU peripherals since they are all known belong to CPU or cluster power domain. If we want to follow the way they are discussion, we need to register core and cluster power provider, and need vfp/gic/pmu etc to require them. Is it really suitable? > Regards, > Sudeep > > Best Regards, Neil Zhang ��.n��������+%������w��{.n����z�{��ܨ}���Ơz�j:+v�����w����ޙ��&�)ߡ�a����z�ޗ���ݢj��w�f
